Roat also known colloquially as Dum ke Roat is a sweet confectionary dish from the Indian city of Hyderabad. It is popular especially in the month of Muharram (the first month of the Islamic calendar)[1] It is made by mixing semolina, refined flour, ghee, dry fruits, saffron and raisins into a dough and baking it in the oven.[2]

Etymology

Dum refers to being cooked with steam.

Roat refers to Roti (flatbread) Traditionally women used to add sugar and extra ghee in the basic recipe of Roti to make it tastier and it was used as an offering in Alam. However, over time as the recipe evolved, it made it being cooked on the stove difficult, that's is when it started being baked.[3]

History

Roat has it's origins from the Roti (flatbread) (see Etymology) It is said that during the ‘Nala-e-Mubarak’ Alam (an annual procession during Muharram in the Old City); the erstwhile Nizam of the Hyderabad state Mir Osman Ali Khan offered Roat for the safety and well-being of his grandson and heir apparent, Mukarram Jah. The practise has continued since.[4][5] Roat is traditionally served after a majlis (gathering) in an Ashurakhana is completed.[6]

Today they are made at homes or can be purchased from bakeries like Pista House, Karachi Bakery and Subhan Bakery.[7][8]
