Roti Paratha – But Not As You Know It
Roti is one of the world’s most loved flatbreads. Originating from the Indian subcontinent, it is traditionally made from wheat flour and water, rolled thin and cooked on a hot plate.
Today, roti is enjoyed across many cultures and countries including India, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Malaysia, Indonesia and Singapore, where it has evolved into many different styles and dishes.
One of the most popular variations is roti paratha – a flaky, layered flatbread created by folding and stretching the dough before cooking it on a hot grill.
At Kafe Kooks in Ultimo, roti paratha sits at the heart of everything we do. Fresh dough is stretched, folded and cooked to create the crispy, buttery layers that make roti paratha so irresistible.
But here at the House of Roti, we don’t stop there.
We take our roti dough and transform it into a range of dishes – from traditional street food favourites served with rich curry gravies and house-made sambal, to creative dishes that you may not have seen before.
