Makki ki roti is an unleavened bread that can be made traditionally (in a tandoor), or using a tawa (flat skillet). Makki di roti are popular flatbreads from the land of Punjab. This famous maize flour bread gets its name from the Punjabi term for maize flour: makki ka atta.
While maize is a term for corn, please note that makki ka atta is different than what we know as “cornflour” in India. What we call cornflour is known as “cornstarch” in different parts of the world, while makki ka atta is finely ground cornmeal.
Makki ki roti is most often served with Sarson ka Saag (sautéed and spiced mustard greens) and a few jaggery cubes; this delicious combo is quite famous and is very healthy.

Makki ki roti goes well with any saag, including Palak Saag (made with spinach), bathua saag (cooked with goosefoot leaves) or Chane ka Saag (prepared with chickpea greens). While saag can also be served with Paratha, these maize-flour flatbreads are always the first choice.
Maize kernel is an edible and nutritive part of the plant. The table below gives the nutritional benefits of maize. They also prevent the symptoms of rheumatism because they are believed to improve the joint motility.
