Bread made from Wheat

रोटिका

Roti (wheat flatbread/chapati) is described as sweet, heavy, cold in potency, strengthening, nourishing and aphrodisiac. Thin Roti is lighter than thick Roti. Roti made on direct fire (without oil) is lighter than that cooked with oil or ghee. The properties vary based on the type of grain used and the method of cooking. Freshly prepared Roti is better than stale Roti. Verse references: 30-32.
