Phitti ( GB )

It is a round thick bread and if you want to experience how to make it then Hunza welcomes you all to see the this Hunzai bread traditionally made in a cast iron skillet buried under hot coals and ashes in a hearth. The most preferred combination is eating phitti with tea seasoned with SALT (not sugar) and some butter. It is a famous  breakfast in Gilgit and northern areas of Pakistan as well.
