📖 The Story Behind This Dish

Rukhal is a traditional Omani flatbread: a loose batter is spread thin on a hot griddle and cooked crisp as paper. It's eaten at breakfast with honey, date syrup, or eggs, and is also dipped in soups or curries. Made with practiced hands by the women of the household, it's an everyday Omani taste.

🌆 Where it's eaten: On a village morning in Oman, a woman in the courtyard spreads batter thin over a round griddle and stacks up crisp flatbreads one after another.
