Roomali Roti | Soft, Thin & Fluffy Indian Bread

Roomali Roti is an iconic, ultra-thin Indian flatbread that is both soft and stretchy. Made from refined flour, the dough is rolled out into a very thin disc, which is then cooked on an inverted tawa (a large, flat wok-like pan) over high heat. The result is a light, soft, and slightly chewy bread that can be folded easily, resembling a handkerchief (hence the name “roomali,” meaning “handkerchief” in Hindi).
