Next Dish: Chapati

Lokshe is a traditional Indian flatbread, similar to a roti or chapati, originating from the Maharashtra region. It is typically made from wheat flour, water, and sometimes oil, and is cooked on a tava, a flat or slightly concave iron griddle. The bread is often served with curry, dal, or other Indian dishes. Lokshe is enjoyed on a daily basis in many Indian households, and is particularly popular during festivals and special occasions.
