We all have relished both roomali rotis and khakhras, and this cross between the two dishes is surely interesting. In this video uploaded by the Instagram food blogger @foodie_incarnate, we can see a man flattening out a maida dough ball into a giant roomali roti. He, then, proceeds to roast the roti on the back of a kadhai, and as soon as the roti is cooked and crispy, he takes it off the flame and brushes some ghee onto the crispy side followed by some chopped coriander leaves and a masala mix. Sp far, the video has garnered over 1.5 million views, 102k likes and hundreds of comments from foodies across the country. Take a look at them:
