Literally, ''makkī dī rotī'' means 'bread of maize' in the [[Punjabi language|Punjabi]] language, with the term ''makkī'' borrowed into Hindi, forming ''makkī kī rotī'' (c.f. Hindi ''makkai''). ''Makkī dī rotī'' is yellow in color when ready, and has much less cohesive strength, which makes it difficult to handle.

Makki di roti is generally made during winter and is often accompanied with [[saag]] (especially [[sarson da saag]] i.e. cooked mustard green leaves). In [[Himachal]] it is also eaten with Maah (Urad) daal.<ref>{{Cite book|last=India|first=Anthropological Survey of|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=XEduAAAAMAAJ&q=Makki+Roti+|title=Himachal Pradesh|date=1996|publisher=Anthropological Survey of India|isbn=978-81-7304-094-8|language=en}}</ref> Among [[Dogras]] there are folk songs talking of Makki di roti like: "मक्के दी रोटी मोइये , सरेआं दा साग हो , पिप्पल मरोड़ी मरोड़ी करी खाना हो ।"<ref>{{Cite book|last1=Śāstrī|first1=Rāmanātha|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=SAASAQAAIAAJ&q=Makki+Roti+Dogra|title=(Rajata jayantī abhinandana grantha).|last2=Mohana|first2=Madana|last3=Langeh|first3=Baldev Singh|date=1970|publisher=Ḍogarī Saṃsthā|language=hi}}</ref> Maize food items are also popular in [[Rajasthan]] and one of that is maize roti.<ref>{{Cite book|last1=Cūṇḍāvata|first1=Lakshmīkumārī|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=nWJuAAAAMAAJ&q=%E0%A4%AE%E0%A4%95%E0%A5%8D%E0%A4%95%E0%A5%80|title=Rajasthan Ke Reeti Rivaz|last2=Swarankar|first2=Ramesh Chand|date=2002|publisher=Pablikeśana Skīma|isbn=9788186782828|language=hi}}</ref> In fact, maize is one of the staple diet of Bishnois of Rajasthan and [[Haryana]].<ref>{{Cite book|last=Singh|first=K.
