Nalk

Nalk is a traditional dish from the Indian subcontinent, particularly popular in the states of Punjab and Haryana. It is a type of flatbread, similar to roti, but with a distinctive texture and flavor. Nalk is typically made from whole wheat flour, which gives it a slightly denser and more rustic appearance compared to other flatbreads. The dough is kneaded and then rolled out into a thin, oval-shaped piece before being cooked on a hot griddle or tawa. The cooking process involves pressing the dough with a rolling pin to create small indentations, which give nalk its characteristic ridged texture.

Nalk is often served with various accompaniments, such as yogurt, pickle, or curries. It is a versatile bread that can be enjoyed on its own or paired with a variety of dishes. The simplicity of nalk makes it a popular choice for breakfast or as a side dish with meals. Its rustic texture and mild flavor make it a staple in many households in the region. Nalk is also a common sight in street food markets and local eateries, where it is often sold by vendors who cook it fresh on the spot.
