Pertama kali roti ditemukan di Mesir dengan bentuk yang tipis dan karena terbuat dari gandum soft wheat lalu dicampur dengan biji-bijian dan dipanggang menggunakan dua buah batu yang panas. Jenis roti ini juga terdapat di India dengan nama chapatti atau paratta (Muhariati, 2014).

  • Sel Roti ( Nepali Rice Bread)
    Sel Roti ( Nepali Rice Bread) Ingredients 3 cups white rice soaked 1 medium banana 1 cup sugar ¾ unsalted melted butter ½ cup rice flour Vegetable oil Start by soaking the rice at least 4 hours or overnight. Drain and place in a blender or food processor with the banana, sugar, butter and process, adding up to 1 1/2 cups of water to make a semi-thick puree. You may have to do this in two batches. Remove the batter and place in a mixing bowl and beat with hand vigorously to make it fluffy semi-thick smooth batter. Cover and set aside to rest for 20 to 30 minutes. When the batter is well rested, mix it again with your hand until all the ingredients in the batter are fully mixed - this process is called "peenako chaamal lai beskaree faaune" in Nepali. The consistency should be similar to thick pourable heavy cream. If the batter is too runny, add 1 to 2 tablespoons of rice flour and mix well. If it seems too thick, gradually add 1 to 2 tablespoons of water and mix well. Heat the oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until it is hot (350 to 375 degree). Test the readiness by placing a small drop of batter into the hot oil. If it bubbles and rises to the surface immediately, it is ready. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the oil slowly, making a large circle. You can use your hand, or a squeezable paper or plastic cup or a pastry bag with a medium-size opening to pour the batter.

    © 2021 JETIR April 2021, Volume 8, Issue 4 www.jetir.org (ISSN-2349-5162) La grande cuisine indienne Saurabh Banerjee, Assistant Professor, Amity University Abstract Ce projet parle des plats différents indiens. Ce sont des plats de l’Inde du nord, de l’Inde du sud, de l’ Inde de l’est aussi bien que de l’Inde de l’ouest. Tous les plats indiens sont très célèbres dans le monde entier. Chaque plat a son l’importance comme le pays a des cultures différentes que on trouve en voyageant le pays du Kashmir à Kanyakumari et du Assam à Gujrat. Chaque région indien a son importance et son goût. Les mots utilises : plats, nord, sud, est, ouest, , célèbres, cultures , goût etc. L’Introduction La cuisine indienne se compose d'une variété de cuisines régionales et traditionnelles originaires du sous-continent indien. Compte tenu de la diversité des sols, du climat, de la culture, des groupes ethniques et des professions, ces cuisines varient considérablement et utilisent des épices, des herbes, des légumes et des fruits disponibles localement. La cuisine indienne est également fortement influencée par la religion, en particulier l'hindouisme, les choix culturels et les traditions. Des siècles de domination islamique, en particulier par les Moghols, ont également introduit des plats comme le samosa et le pilaf. Des événements historiques tels que les invasions, les relations commerciales et le colonialisme ont joué un rôle dans l'introduction de certains aliments dans ce pays. La découverte colombienne du Nouveau Monde a amené un certain nombre de nouveaux légumes et fruits en Inde.
