Makki ki roti (Devanagari: मक्की की रोटी) is a flat unleavened bread made from corn meal (maize flour),[1] primarily eaten in Jammu, Himachal, Haryana, Rajasthan, Gujarat, Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand and Punjab region in North India and Pakistan. Like most rotis in the Indian subcontinent, it is baked on a tava.

Literally, makki ki roti means 'bread of maize' in the Hindi language. Makki ki roti 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.[2] 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 ।"[3] Maize food items are also popular in Rajasthan and one of that is Maize roti.[4] In fact, Maize is one of the staple diet of Bishnois of Rajasthan and Haryana.[5] [6]In Uttar Pradesh, Maize Roti is also eaten with Ghee, Butter, Jaggery and Pickle. In Gujarat, this dish is also known as 'Makai No Rotlo'.[7]
