Masala Tsot is a traditional savory flatbread from Kashmir. It's a soft, leavened bread that is topped with a fragrant mixture of onions and spices before being cooked on a tawa (griddle).
It is most famously enjoyed as a breakfast or snack, paired with a hot cup of Kashmiri Noon Chai (salted pink tea). It can also be served with other hot beverages or as an accompaniment to a simple curry.
Yes, you can make a version without yeast by using 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda instead. The texture will be slightly denser and less fluffy than the yeast-leavened version.
Masala Tsot is best eaten fresh. However, you can store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 24 hours. Reheat on a tawa or in a microwave before serving.
