Rumali roti
Rumali roti also called Manda is a thin flatbread originating from the Indian subcontinent, popular in India and in Punjab, Pakistan. It is eaten with tandoori dishes. The word "rumal" means handkerchief in many north Indian languages, and the name "rumali roti" means handkerchief bread. In Punjab, it is also known as lamboo roti. Lamboo simply means long in Punjabi. It is also known as dosti roti in the Caribbean. This bread is extremely thin and limp, and served folded like a handkerchief. During the Mughal period, Rumali roti was used as a cloth to wipe the grease  off the hands at the end of a rich meal. Rumali is usually made with a combination of whole wheat atta flour and white wheaten maida flour and cooked on the convex side of a karahi. A variation of rumali roti from Bannu and surrounding areas of Waziristan is a much larger version called "paasti" or "paosti chappatai", which means soft chappati. They are served as part of a meal known as "penda", () usually prepared for a large gathering. Paosti is baked on a batt, which is a 55-gallon drum split in half length-wise and inverted over coal  or wood fire. History.
