Koki Roti

Cooks in: 30 Minutes Serves: 2 People

The Sindhi Koki roti is a fabulous flat bread with lots of greens and spices.  Chopped Onion gives  crunchiness to the roti and the spices enhance the flavours. I used Sorghum/Jowar flour for this recipe.

Ingredients:

  • 2 Cups Jowar Flour
  • 1 Cup Packed Chopped mixed greens (spring onions, coriander and Mint leaves)
  • 1/4 Cup Finely Chopped Onion
  • 2 Tbsp Ghee
  • 3 Finely Chopped Green Chillies
  • 1 Tsp Salt
  • 1/2 Tsp Dhaniya Powder
  • 1/2 Tsp Turmeric Powder
  • 1/2 Tsp Grated Ginger
  • 1/2 Tsp Chilli Powder
  • 1/2 Tsp Cumin Powder
  • 1/2 Tsp Pomegranate Powder
  • 1/2 Tsp Carom Seeds/Omam/Ajwain

Directions:

  1. In a wide bowl mix the above ingredients well and keep aside for 10 minutes.
  2. Using hot water knead a tight dough. Since the greens leave water, make sure that a very little quantity of water is added slowly.
  3. Cover and keep rest for 20 minutes. Divide the dough into 8 equal parts and make balls.
  4. Grease a parchment paper/banana leaf and place a ball. Make a 4'' disc by patting with hands. Wet or grease the fingers before patting.
  5. Transfer it to a preheated tawa and cook both sides on medium heat with oil.
  6. Serve with pickle and curd.
