The one thing you have to know about Indian cuisine is that every region has its own version of a bread – one that is not just a side but a crucial element tying a dish together or completing a mealtime. In the beautiful valleys of Kashmir, the bread is called tchot. And one of the most famous (and delicious) Kashmiri tchot is Girda - a crispy bread with chewy inside, best enjoyed with a generous spread of jam and hot tea in the morning or with evening kahwa.
