Roti prata · Singapore
South Indian flaky flatbread tossed and stretched paper-thin, folded and griddled on a hot tava until shattering crisp, served with curry dipping sauces. Singapore's defining 24-hour breakfast and supper dish.
Roti prata arrived in Singapore with South Indian immigrants in the 19th century, evolving from the Keralan parotta tradition. The dish became a 24-hour staple at Singapore's mama shops and Indian-Muslim restaurants. Today the Casuarina Curry corridor on Upper Thomson Road and the Joo Chiat stretch are pilgrimage stops, with Mr and Mrs Mohgan Super Crispy Roti Prata the cult favourite. The dish has its own Singapore name: prata in Singapore, paratha elsewhere.
