Indian Flat breads spiced, stuffed, fried or plain, all are staple breakfast breads in my home. As a child, I often used to wonder, how my mother rolls so good round flat breads. Now I know how :) But I had fun time learning this skill. When I was learning to roll breads, my brother used to stand in the kitchen and laugh at me all the time. He often said that I dance when rolling bread, bread is not rolling, I roll myself to make it round :) ha ha ha. If you ask him today and he will still say that I dance when I roll the bread ;).

Indian bread can have N number of fillings or seasoning added to them to make'em suitable for your taste. Green onions (scallions) are my special favorite for their mild sweet onion flavor.
