There's also sweet roti, served as a dessert. Delicious.
In the spelling bee, phthalate is not being accepted as a word. Why is that?

Chapati and Roti are similar, but they aren't the same.

In the spelling bee, I am always surprised (well, not so much anymore) that naan is okay but poori is not. Several foreign currencies, but not all. And some words that appear in the crossword are not "words" in the Bee (apart from proper nouns like Oreo, which seems to be in every other puzzle these days, though I remember when Will introduced it to Mr. Maleska's horror.) But, as it is said, consistency is the hobgoblin etc. etc. et alii.
