ABOUT Khoba Roti RECIPE

Give your usual rotis a new avatar by trying out these beautiful looking Rajasthani style Khoba Roti. Traditionally they are made into a much bigger size. But I went in for a mini version. I should confess that I really enjoyed making these intricate designs. They are really a visual treat and are generally relished with panchmel dal or any side dish. Please do drizzle some ghee over the end product to enhance the flavour.

Ingredients Serving: 4

Whole wheat flour 2 cups
salt to taste
Melted ghee 2 tablespoon
Yoghurt 2 tablespoon
Ajwain (carom seeds)1/2 teaspoon
Water as required to knead
Melted ghee to drizzle
Rajasthani dal or any side dish to serve

Instructions

In a bowl. mix together (except water) all the ingredients. Add water little at a time and knead a dough. Cover with a wet cloth and keep aside for 15 minutes.
Divide into 4-5 equal portions (slightly thicker than the normal roti). Roll out each into a small round disc, just like a poori.
On one side make small gashes with a knife. Turn over and start making your design either by pinching using your thumb and index finger, with a small tweezer or a small scissor. Make similar designer rotis with the remaining dough.
Place them on a greased baking sheet / tray and brush all over with some ghee. Bake at 180 degrees C. for 15-20 minutes. When done, drizzle some more ghee over the roti and serve with Rajasthani Panchmel Dal or any side dish.
