Attention, fellow foodies! Brace yourselves for a culinary crisis of epic proportions. The beloved rumali roti, the disappearing act on restaurant menus across India, is staging a quiet protest in the backstage of our taste buds. It’s gone undercover, leaving us with a flatbread emergency! It is being replaced by the mighty naan and tandoori roti. So, we need a nationwide protest to rescue this culinary hero from the depths of menu oblivion.
This was brought to our attention after a user on X highlighted the crisis and wrote, “Rumali Roti vanishing from menus is a crisis that isn’t spoken about enough.”
Rumali Roti vanishing from menus is a crisis that isn't spoken about enough.

Several people agreed and said that we, as a nation must unite to bring back rumali roti into the menu of restaurants and trend it on X with hashtags like #JusticeForRumaliRoti and #SaveRumaliRoti.
Yes and yes. I specifically look for it when I want to eat Indian food outside and not many restaurants have it.

Actually true … missing the rumali rotis from every menu nowadays and when I ask they reply “ Sir yeh Kya hoti hai” … like seriously

I too have thought about this, even though I am not supposed to consume it. Why is it missing in several places? Is it related to popularity or skills? I know it’s not easy to make and flipping and spinning it in the air is an art ig

True. Recently I asked at Cafe in Chandigarh for malai chaap and rumaali roti and they will be like, we don’t have rumaali roti. Instead they suggested options in Naan. pic.twitter.com/LpPYabWR7k

It’s time to roll up our sleeves, or should I say, roll out the rotis, and demand the return of the soft, thin, and utterly delightful rumali rotis. Because a world without it is just a bit less flavourful, don’t you think? Let the roti revolution begin!
