Seyal Roti is a popular Sindhi dish that’s is served mainly for breakfast. For a gluten free version, I prepared this with Jowar (Sorghum flour) rotis. Its a simple, healthy and delicious breakfast item.
The word
Seyal in Sindhi means something which is cooked in a gravy with onion, garlic & tomatoes on slow flame or simmered till water dries.
Its a dish that can be prepared either with left over rotis or with bread. Though essentially a breakfast item, it can also be had at lunch / dinner. In India, we do not generally believe in the concept of freezing food for long days and reheating it, perhaps because this being a tropical country. We also do not allow the food to remain in the refrigerator for more than a day and prefer to consume freshly cooked food on daily basis. Based on this concept, Seyal Roti is prepared with previous day's leftover rotis. Its also called
Seyal Maani when it is prepared with roti / Seyal Double Roti when prepared with bread / pav.
In order to save time for preparing breakfast in the morning rush hours, this dish is prepared with the leftover rotis. However we can also make this using fresh rotis.
