Rumali Roti:
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 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 non vegetarian curry.

Jay, Estas tortas tienen que estar muy buenas, cuando traduzca la receta seguro que la pongo en practica, saludos
Yes, Anne Regelado, non stick pan suits very good for rumali roti..;)
Hy Ola,
filling in between two chapathis is just smearing of ghee & maida. It helps to separate the two rotis easily & enhance softness.
giv a try & lemme know..;)
Yes Nish, its quite tedious to handle the very large size of roti in frypan too...toring of here & there..hhaha..
had my experience too..;)
Hy Platanos, Mangoes and Me,

Its really interesting and I ve made these several times. But every time I try and flavour the dough differently. Sometimes mint, sometimes spinach, sometimes garam masala..They all taste yummy.
That looks thin, light and perfect Jay!
Woooh, they are prepared almost in the same way as we make duppad, just that there is APF added here.
Thanks for sharing this; I always thougth making it is toooo difficult, but doesn't look so now. :)
