Pakistani Breads
Bread is how a Desi meal is eaten — torn and used to scoop up curry, or served warm beside the pot. This hub gathers every bread on the site, and the dishes each one serves with.
Bread recipes
No bread recipe is published in this first set of twenty — the first bread recipe will be listed here when it publishes.
What to serve bread with
- Butter Chicken Recipe: Creamy Murgh Makhani at Home — warm naan with a creamy butter chicken.

The breads that follow are the ones this cuisine is built around. Plain naan is the same dough as garlic naan without the garlic butter; roti is the everyday unleavened flatbread, rolled thin and cooked dry on a hot pan; paratha is layered with ghee and folded, crisp outside and soft inside. Naan scoops a saucy curry, roti is the daily bread beside a drier dish, and paratha stands on its own at breakfast. Those recipes will be added here as they publish.
