I looooove Rumali Rotis and they make my premier choice at restaurants. I’m fascinated by the way, how this splendid roti is made in hotels are, as soft & thin as a handkerchief. But never attempted making them at home. Feeling really adventurous, I tried this recipe for dinner to pair with egg masala yesterday and it came out soft & tasty. Preparing this tender flat Indian bread at home is not a daunting or overwhelming task as it seems to be. It can be prepared easily at home. The word rumali means handkerchief in Hindi , and the rumali roti means handkerchief bread due to the thinness of the roti and served folded like handkerchief. This roti has both flours APF & Atta. It goes well with any vegetarian or nonvegetarian curry. Try out this famous Indian Rumali Roti recipe & make sure to prepare extras, as it would be devoured in no time..;)
