A tava or saj is used to cook a variety of leavened and unleavened flatbreads and crepes across the broad region: saj bread, roti, chapati, paratha, chaap, pao bhaaji, chaat, dosa, and pesarattu.
In Pakistan, especially in rural areas, large saj are used to cook several breads at a same time or to make rumali roti.

Famous quotes containing the word breads:
“[T]hose wholemeal breads ... look hand-thrown, like studio pottery, and are fine if you have all your teeth. But if not, then not. Perhaps the rise ... of the ... factory-made loaf, which may easily be mumbled to a pap betweeen gums, reflects the sorry state of the nation’s dental health.”
—Angela Carter (1940–1992)
