Originating in the Indian subcontinent, roti is a flatbread that is eaten primarily as a snack, topped with sweetened condensed milk, sugar, banana, and/or chocolate. Roti is distinctive in that it is an unleavened bread, unlike other popular Indian flatbreads like naan. It is commonly available fresh from Thai street vendors.
