now this one is going to be an exciting
0:03
this is one of the softest breads you
0:07
eat or feel this is called a ramali roti
0:11
which literally translates to a
0:14
bread and it's called a handkerchief
0:19
like one so let's get started so to
0:21
actually cook this bread
0:22
you won't be cooking it on direct heat
0:25
what you'll be doing is inverting
0:28
a wok or a pan over the heat
0:31
and then cooking the actual bread over
0:35
of your wok or your pan cast iron pans
0:39
or stainless steel pans
0:40
are best for this technique so to make
0:44
go ahead and heat up your milk lightly
0:46
in the microwave until it's
0:48
lukewarm at the same time melt some
0:51
butter as well or if you have softened
0:53
room temperature butter that should work
0:56
as well and in the bowl of a kitchenaid
0:58
mixer go ahead and add your flour
1:00
for about the butter and then slowly
1:02
pour in your milk and then we'll knead
1:04
this until the dough is nice and soft
1:07
supple and it's not sticky to touch then
1:10
go ahead and knead the dough on the
1:12
counter top for one to two minutes or
1:14
until you don't see any cracks on the
1:17
and until it feels nice and soft supple
1:21
and then just let that rest for about 15
1:26
and cover it with plastic wrap or a damp
1:30
paper towel now while it is resting you
1:32
can start preheating your actual wok
1:34
so as you can see here my wok is
1:38
stove which has been heating on medium
1:42
you want that to be really nice and hot
1:44
because the bread cooks very quickly
1:46
now depending on how big your pan or wok
1:49
it's going to affect how big your romali
1:53
so in my case the wax diameter is about
1:56
13 to 14 inches so i can make
1:59
my breads pretty big and once the dough
2:01
has rested for about 20 minutes
2:03
just portion that out into however many
2:06
of romani rotis you're planning to cook
2:09
and that is gonna depend on how big
2:11
the back of your pan or your wok is so
2:15
i can divide this dough up into six
2:18
and then for each dough at a time i'm
2:21
going to flatten it out
2:22
lightly and then dust it with some flour
2:25
and then with the hard hand just flatten
2:29
and keep that round shape if the dough
2:33
long enough then it shouldn't resist at
2:36
all and you should be able to easily
2:38
stretch that out really thin how can you
2:40
ask well it should be translucent so if
2:44
behind the actual dough
2:47
you should be able to see your hands not
2:49
transparent but translucent
2:51
now here you can either roll out all of
2:54
your portions and cook it all at the
2:56
or you can roll and cook one at a time
3:00
in my case i rolled all of them out and
3:02
for me it just makes the cooking process
3:04
more fun and i can just concentrate
3:06
on the actual cooking and not divert my
3:10
attention between the rolling part and
3:12
and as soon as you add that thin piece
3:15
your pan on your walk you will start to
3:17
see steam coming out of the dough
3:20
and soon you'll start seeing bubbles on
3:23
of the actual bread that just signifies
3:26
that it's turning brown
3:27
and as soon as you see a bunch of
3:31
carefully using tongs turn the bread
3:35
to cook the other side now once the
3:38
also has a bit of browning you can take
3:42
and brush that with butter or if you
3:44
choose to as soon as you flip it
3:46
you can apply butter right on the actual
3:49
just be careful about it and now to
3:51
serve you can literally do what you do
3:53
with a handkerchief or a ramal
3:55
you can fold it and neatly pack it
3:58
to serve and it's going to be really
4:01
cute and it's going to be really nice
4:03
as you can see right here in my case i'm
4:05
serving them as triangles
4:07
and tonight this bread is going to
4:10
make my butter chicken super special
4:14
by the way that recipe is coming very
4:17
and you have to subscribe so you can
4:21
you don't have to but it'll be fun if
4:23
you did now for me this bread used to be
4:25
underrated because all i wanted when i
4:27
went to a restaurant when i was a kid
4:29
was none like my parents would eat
4:31
ramali roti but i'm like i just want my
4:34
naan and that's all that i want
4:35
only later on did i start appreciating
4:39
romali rotis are and if you love nuns
4:42
you're gonna really love
4:43
romani rotis it has a similar texture
4:47
so much thinner so what you can do is
4:50
lather that bread with the gravy of
4:54
whatever delicacy that you're having
4:57
and it's just the most fun bread that
5:00
and it's great for wraps as well because
5:02
it's so soft because it's so big
5:05
because it's so thin it makes her
5:07
amazing wraps so the butter chicken
5:08
recipe which i just teased right now
5:11
is coming up really soon later this week
5:13
so be sure to hit that bell
5:15
hit subscribe so that you're the first
5:17
