What is Rumali Roti?
rumi rumi is a type of bread that is produced in northern India. It is made only from a few simple ingredients, including flour, water and oils that are mixed and rolled into paper leaves of the dough. The dough is traditionally cooked on the bottom of rounded cooking called tawa . Bread is usually folded when served, because the name is literally translated into "pocket bread" and was once used after eating. The completed Rumali Roti can be served with different types of curry or along with any meal, during which it can be used to charge the food to be eaten.
The creation of Rumali roti begins with the formation of the dough. This begins with decision on what type of flour to use. Traditionally, it is a combination of white flour and wheat flour. The dough can be made of mere white flour, but will have a lighter color and a denser, sweeter taste. Using only wheat flour can actually cause problems, because the lack of gluten cztuhlé dough, so it does not build or boil. The dough is kneaded until it is smoothAnd it has a slight shine on its surface, suggesting that all ingredients are incorporated and gluten has developed into the dough. Then it is allowed to rest from 10 to 30 minutes, then the dough is broken into small balls.
Each ball becomes the only leaf of Rumali Roti. They are balanced on a floured surface until they are very thin, just slightly stronger than a sheet of paper. One method used to get the leaves as thin is to throw the dough into the air and spin it as it is released. When the dough spins in the air, the leaf is stretched thinner and thinner with every throwing.
As soon as the leaves are completed, they need to be cooked. It was originally done in a pan similar to Wok, which was turned upside down above the flame. If this method is not possible, the inverted cast iron pan can also be used or alternately only a standard cast iron pan. The oil is brushed on a hot cooking surface and a leaf of dough is placed at the top. The cooking time is only a few seconds and the bread is done when some air bubbles and a slight browning appear.
