Roti prata is nothing but a South Indian inspired fried flatbread that is often served with different curries. Although the dish may seem simple, the taste is just exquisite. In preparation of the bread, the flour is first moulded into a characteristic round shape and then fried, preferably on a griddle. This is the simple basic roti prata, however, you can add other toppings like eggs and onions to enhance the flavour.
Chicken rice is available in most parts of the world. In Singapore, this is sometimes referred to as the national dish where the rice is simply cooked in chicken stock, which means every bite you take is going to be chock-full of a flavour that is going to make your palette crave for more.
