/Sounds like "koh" (as in "coat") + "MAHL" (as in "mark")/
A round clay or metal griddle where tortillas are heated and cooked in Mexico and Central America. The comal is the soul of Mexican cooking, there's no good tortilla without a good hot comal.
“Put the tortillas on the comal to warm them up.”
“A clay comal gives a whole different flavor.”
