Roomali paneer is a traditional dish from Indian cuisine, known for its delicious flavor and unique texture. Its name comes from "roomal roti," a type of very thin and soft bread, similar to a handkerchief ("roomal" in Hindi). This dish combines paneer, a fresh cheese characteristic of Indian cuisine, with spices and aromatic herbs that give it a special touch. In several Latin American countries, although it is not very well known, it can be found under similar names related to fresh cheeses and wrap bread, but its origin and preparation are native to India and Pakistan. The popularity of Roomali paneer has grown internationally thanks to the expansion of Indian cuisine, and today it is an exquisite and distinctive option for those looking to experience oriental flavors in their meals.
