Puri
Puri or poori is an unleavened flatbread, from India or Pakistan, that is quickly fried rather than being cooked on a tava. It should be a little smaller than a roti or a chapati, about 13 cm (5") round.
Whilst kneading dough can be therapeutic, if time is your enemy, then the food processor is your friend.
Puris are the perfect accompaniment to most Indian dishes.
