When you hear the word curry country, what comes to mind is...well, India.
Did you know that in India, naan is not often eaten when eating curry?
In Japan, it is common to eat curry with rice or naan, but in India, it is common to enjoy curry with bread such as chapati, paratha, roti, or papad.

What is chapati, roti, paratha and papad?
Roti is characterized by its thin and crunchy texture, making it a light and crispy snack that you can enjoy as a snack. It's also perfect when you're feeling hungry.
Paratha is a thin, unleavened bread with an irresistible buttery aroma!
It has a texture similar to a fragrant Danish pastry and is very filling, so it tends to be especially popular for breakfast in India.
Chapati is an Indian bread made from whole wheat flour that is commonly eaten at home.
It has a light and chewy texture and goes well with curry.
Papad is a thin, crunchy cracker-like sweet made from bean or lentil flour. The light texture and unique flavor enhance the taste of curry.
It's like a thin rice cracker made from bean or rice flour.
In India, it is served as an appetizer or eaten as a snack.
The most popular way to eat it is to fry it in oil.
Personally, I recommend lightly toasting it in a toaster or frying pan because it's easy! !
Of course you can eat it as is.
It also looks stylish when eaten with chopped vegetables or dipped in curry.
