📖 The Story Behind This Dish

Roti prata was brought to Singapore by Indian immigrants and evolved from India's paratha. The dough is stretched thin while being spun through the air, folded into many layers, and cooked on a griddle, making it crisp outside and chewy inside. It's classically dipped in curry, and sweet variations filled with cheese or chocolate are also popular.

🌆 Where it's eaten: At a hawker center early in the morning, customers watch the cook spinning and stretching the dough while waiting for their order.
