What It Is: The word “rumal” is Hindi for handkerchief, and this bread resembles one; it is large, as thin as cloth, and served folded like a napkin. It is served with a lentil sauce (sambar/dhal) and a variety of chutneys. In these present days, it is modernised to ghee chapati which is much sweeter and attracts the small kids to consume it.
