Thai Roti Bread is a easy to make and tasty bread recipe prepared using flour and milk. This bread can be served with any curry for lunch / dinner / breakfast. Thai food is my all time favorite and love to try different recipes from thai cuisine and I do it more frequently. I have served this bread with tofu bhurji and its delicious. Its really worth a try.

This s new to me.. I have prepared naan should try this..looks yum
It really tastes yum. I am sure you will love this
Kushi, the Thai roti looks luscious! I will give this a try for sure.
Thank you Sandhya :)I am sure you will love this
This is new to me too, looks so close to naan. Is it so Kushi?
It tastes really yum and yes you are right Jyothi 🙂 Somewhat similar
Sounds interesting and easy… It is like mini naan..
Thank you Sowmia 🙂
superb Thai roti..nice to know..lovely recipe…dear..
Thank you dear Nalini 🙂
Can This be warmed in the oven if it’s frozen?
Yes, you can!
Made this today using my bread maker and it turned out very well, I used Ghee instead of oil.
Great recipe that I have already passed on to others, thanks very much.
Thank you so much Julie 🙂
Can it be made ahead? Before frying?
Yes, you can. If you plan to fry it in 3-4 hours then you can roll the breads, and stack them by placing a parchment paper between each and then cover completely using a dry and clean kitchen towel to prevent it from drying up. You can also freeze if you prefer. I think either way parchment paper is the key as it prevents the rolled flat breads from sticking to one another.
This was fantastic! I never knew how easy this was to make, I think I’ll be having it with every meal now 😀 I’ve made slightly too much dough though, is there a good way to store it? Thanks for the great recipe!!
Thank you so much. I am glad you liked it. Wrap it in plastic wrap and place it in refrigerator. Use it in a day or 2. Thaw for half an hour before rolling. However, it tastes best when its fresh 🙂
Thank you so much! I usually do prefer it fresh, but I’ve been very busy with university and it’s a nice treat to look forwards to after a long day 🙂
Does it store well or is it only to be eaten fresh?
Best eaten fresh. You can store in refrigerator for 1 or 2 days but make sure you preheat them before serving.
It looks perfect and tasty! Can’t wait to have this anytime of the day, love it!
Kushi, that recipe looks so yummy! I’ll have to try that one. Thanks for sharing.
Kushi, it looks so yummy! I love the step-by-step instructions, making it an easy recipe to follow!
Kushi, these look so delicious! I bet my family would love for me to make these sometime.
Kushi, absolutely loved this! Made a few tweaks, as I literally never follow a recipe 100%, but this was so yummy I will actually make it again! Thank you!
Julia, I am glad you liked it. I too like to give my own tweaks to recipes to cater to my family’s palate. Kudos to you!
My family totally loved this thai bread. Thanks kushi.
This looks incredible! I cannot wait to try it. It would be perfect with some of my curries 🙂
So easy to make and absolutely delicious. I can’t wait to make it again for my family.
Great texture! Nice fluffy bread!
Those look gorgeous and so easy. I’m going to give them a go. Thanks for the recipe.

Sounds and looks delicious! I love the idea of the warm milk, especially the coconut milk…what a wonderful quick bread recipe to try!
This looks so good and so easy to make! I’m putting this on my list for this evening!
I bet this would be perfect with some tikka masala! Yum! 🙂
I didn’t realize how easy it was to make these!! These are now a staple at our house!
This looks similar to naan so I know
My family will love it! And I like that I will always have the ingredients on hand.
Although there are only a few ingredients in these roti they are lovely and so easy to make. Great with Thai curry but I could eat these alone. Far nicer than shop bought ones. Thank you for a lovely easy recipe.
