It is to me? They call it roti, it's round and flat and I believe it is
fried in a pan (but maybe in an oven, I don't actually know). I doubt
there's any leavening agent in it. There are versions using potato,
flour, gram and dal, or mixtures of those. Maybe some types are
considered "unauthentic"

The roti are served with savory, saucy/stewy things, vegetables , eggs,
curried potatoes etc.
