Khubz Ragag

Also known as: خبز رقاق

A very thin Omani wheat griddle bread, with an optional spiced chicken and rice accompaniment.

About Khubz Ragag

Khubz ragag is a very thin Omani griddle bread with a crisp, delicate texture. This palm-pressed rendition has a simple wheat-flour base and an irregular, lacy appearance.

Its lightly salted flavour makes the bread a companion for richer dishes. The thin sheets offer a brittle contrast to soft rice and tender chicken.

Chicken madrouba is an optional accompaniment. Dried lime and warm spices give the thick rice dish an aromatic, tangy character, with ghee and fried red onion adding richness.
