ABOUT RAJASTHANI KHOBA ROTI / KHOOBA ROTI RECIPE

Rajasthani Khoba Roti or Khooba Roti is a thick flatbread made with whole wheat flour. Khoba roti may look a bit complicated to you from the appearance, but it is very simple to make. Traditional way to cook this roti is to cook it on a charcoal sigri. but since we do not have those now-a-days we have to make on a tawa and then finished on the flame directly.

Ingredients Serving: 1

Wheat flour .... 1 cup
Desi ghee ....... 1 tbsp (to add while kneading)
Salt ............... to taste
Ajwain seeds ... 1/8 tsp
Cumin seeds .... 1/8 tsp
Desi ghee ........ as needed to brush on top

Instructions

Mix together all the ingredients in a large plate or a bowl or a plate.
Knead with sufficient water to make a soft dough. Cover it and set aside to rest for 15 minutes.
Now take the entire dough and roll out into a thick roti.
Heat a tawa and transfer the roti on to it.
Pierce with a knife and roast it on one side for half a minute. Piercing helps in cooking the inside part well.
Flip the side and close the gas. Pinch the roti with your fingers to make depressions on it all over.
Now light the gas and roast the roti controlling the flame to low and medium.
Flip it and roast the other side similarly.
When it is 3/4 th done, roast it over the direct flame using tongs.
Turn it around to roast evenly .You get the best results when done on charcoal. Remove it in the serving plate and brush ghee generously on it.
