Dhal Puri Roti: filled with seasoned split peas, making it a savory and flavorful option. The dough is rolled thin and cooked on a hot griddle until it's soft, with a delightful stuffing that adds an extra layer of taste to your meal.
Paratha (Buss Up Shut): Paratha, affectionately called buss up shut, is known for its flaky, tender texture. This roti is skillfully beaten and folded to create its unique layers, resembling a torn shirt, hence the name "buss up shut."
