Tanoori Roti. The dough piece for tanoori roti is prepared exactly the same as for chappatti, except it is slightly thicker and is baked on the inside wall of a very hot clay oven called a tanoori. The tanoori roti receives a more thorough baking than chappatti and as a result develops a different flavour. Tanoori roti is not unlike the traditional tanoori breads consumed in the Middle East. 1, record 5, English, - tanoori%20roti

Tanoori roti. On prépare le pâton du «tanoori roti» exactement comme celui du chappati, sauf qu'il est légèrement plus épais et qu'il est cuit sur la paroi intérieure d'un four en argile très chaud appelé «tanoori». Le tanoori roti subit une cuisson plus intense que le chappati, ce qui lui confère une saveur différente. Le tanoori roti ressemble aux pains tanoori traditionnels consommés au Moyen-Orient. 1, record 5, French, - tanoori%20roti
