  • ROOMALI ROTI RECIPE / QUICK RUMALI ROTI,Butter
    ROOMALI ROTI RECIPE / QUICK RUMALI ROTI Roomali roti or rumali roti is a thin flat bread popular in south Asia. The term “Rumali” means “Hand Kerchief” the name suggests that the roti has to be rolled out as thin as possible. It is made with whole wheat flour and maida (All purpose flour). This roomali roti is soft,yummy in taste and a nice alternative to regular chapathi. It goes well with dal makhani or any side dish of your choice. I had it with kala chana masala. I will be posting the recipe for kala chana in my next post. Recipe Source : Chef Sanjay Thumma Ingredients 1 Cup of Wheat Flour 1 Cup of Maida / All Purpose Flour 2 Tbsp of Oil 1/2 Cup and 2 Tbsp of Water or as needed Salt to taste Make a paste of ghee and maida 1 Tbsp of Ghee/Oil 1 Tbsp of Maida/All Purpose Flour Yield : 10 Roti’s Method In a bowl, mix both the flours, oil, salt and water to make a soft dough.

Add a tsp of ghee(oil)- maida paste to the center of roti and spread it evenly. Roll the second roti to the same size of first roti. After that, place the second roti over the first roti. Roll out both the roti together to a very thin roti. Repeat the procedure to the rest of the dough.

  • Tyler Cowen's Ethnic Dining Guide – July 2004, Sixteenth Edition
    Tyler Cowen's Ethnic Dining Guide – June 2019, 31th edition. The Guide is also available in search-able, browse-able format. I wish to offer thanks to all those who offered dining suggestions and evaluations (keep them coming!). This has made the guide better, and longer, than before. It also means the guide has more unvisited places than before. I hope to get to them soon! You also should buy my book An Economist Gets Lunch: New Rules for Everyday Foodies. General remarks Restaurants manifest the spirit of capitalist multiculturalism. Entrepreneurship, international trade and migration, and cultural exchange all come together in these communal eateries. In the last twenty or so years, the Washington D.C. area has become a leader in ethnic restaurants. We lag behind New York City and Los Angeles, but we vie with Chicago and the Bay Area for third place in the United States. In some areas, such as Ethiopian cuisine, we are number one. This guide is intended to help individuals enjoy good food, and keep my favorite places in business. Effective consumer choice improves your eating and, in the long run, improves the quality of available restaurants. The better ethnic restaurants tend to have many of their kind in a given geographic area. Single restaurant representations of a cuisine tend to disappoint. Competition increases quality and lowers prices. The presence of many restaurants of a kind in an area creates a pool of educated consumers, trained workers and chefs, and ingredient supplies - all manifestations of increasing returns to scale. Many of the best ethnic restaurants on this list come from the well-represented cuisines.
