Karari Roomali is a very crispy roomali roti which is served in many restaurants in Ahmedabad, India as a starter. Karari in Hindi means ‘crisp’ and roomali means thin bread. Karari Roomali is like a papad/poppadum shaped in bowl and served with mint chutney.
I first tasted this dish in a restaurant called ‘Havmor’ few years back and it instantly became one of my favourite starters. It is surely a feast for the eyes and a gastronomic treat. It is extremely satisfying breaking small pieces of the crispy spiced bread to dip in a green chutney to eat.
Karari Roomali is made from a plain flour dough, rolled extremely thin and cooked on an upside down kadai and finally topped with ghee and spices.
