Makki di roti (Punjabi: ਮੱਕੀ ਦੀ ਰੋਟੀ (Gurmukhi), مکی دی روٹی (Shahmukhi), मक्की दी रोटी (Devanagari)) is a flat, unleavened North Indian bread made from corn flour. Like most rotis in Indian/Pakistani cuisine, it is baked on a tava.
Literally, Makki di roti means "bread of corn" in the Punjabi language. Makki di roti is yellow in color when ready, and has much less adhesive strength - which makes it difficult to handle. Due to this, making makki di roti is more difficult than roti made from wheat flour.
Makki di roti is generally made during the winter-time in Punjab and is perhaps best known when accompanied with saag or sarson da saag (cooked mustard green leaves), makhan (butter) and buttermilk. Similarly, in Uttar Pradesh, it is eaten with spinach and added butter.
