Birjis

Birjis, also known as birjees, is a type of flatbread originating from the Indian subcontinent. It is commonly made with wheat flour and water, often with the addition of yogurt or milk to create a softer texture. The dough is typically leavened slightly, giving the finished bread a puffier consistency than some other unleavened flatbreads. Birjis are usually pan-fried or griddled until golden brown and slightly crisp on the exterior, while remaining soft and pliable inside. They can be served as a side dish with a variety of curries, dals, or vegetable preparations. In some regions, they are also enjoyed as a breakfast item, sometimes served with sweet accompaniments like sugar or jaggery. The preparation and serving of birjis can vary slightly depending on regional culinary traditions within India and neighboring countries.
