Katoomba Foods Roti Paratha has just been released in a six-pack size; perfect for an individual, couple or small family for a single dinner.

Katoomba Foods was a pioneer in introducing Asian-style flatbreads into Australian supermarkets and has seen its products grow to become market leaders.

The business moved to Australia in 1987, initially manufacturing and distributing ginger and garlic paste to the food service industry. Since then, it has established itself as a dominant international food player servicing high-volume customers across retail, food service, manufacturing, and distribution.

Family-owned and based in Homebush, Sydney with facilities across Australia, they have introduced the smaller pack to meet customer demand and to allow individuals to trial the unique and delicious Roti Paratha.

Katoomba Foods Roti Paratha – unique in Australia because of its 64 layers – has grown significantly since first being introduced to Costco in 2009.

Katoomba Foods national commercial manager Joe Mastroianni says the popularity of Roti Paratha is, in part, because Australians today are well travelled and willing to explore new cuisines. 
But it is also because Katoomba Foods Roti Paratha is far more versatile than just a flatbread to accompany your favourite curry or South-East Asian dish.

Roti Paratha can replace most puff pastry, dough, breads or wraps in a host of recipes across all types of cuisine and is overtaking puff pastry as the go-to product in Aussie freezers.

“Our roti can be paired and accompany all sorts of dishes from different origins and, in my personal experience, is the ultimate replacement for traditional wraps and even gourmet bread.

“Our rotis can be easily used to make savoury and sweet puffs and, since they come separately wrapped and in a round shape, they thaw faster and are much more recipe friendly,” Mastroianni says.

Katoomba Foods Roti Paratha takes its inspiration from the traditional street food-styles of roti paratha and roti canai flatbreads that are enjoyed across India, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand and Indonesia.

Katoomba Roti Breads are available in the new six pack from $4.50, 20-pack from $11.50 and 30-pack from $13.00.

They are widely available in Woolworths, Coles, Costco, independent supermarkets and ethnic stores across Australia.

It’s been a tumultuous yet progressive year in packaging in Australia, with highs and lows playing out against a backdrop of uncertainty caused in part by the dangling sword of DCCEEW’s proposed Packaging Reform, and in part by the mounting pressure of rising manufacturing costs.
