Sindhi Koki

Sindhi Koki is a delightful, flaky flatbread infused with aromatic spices, making it a perfect breakfast option. This traditional dish is not only satisfying but also offers a unique taste of Sindhi cuisine.

Ingredients

• Whole wheat flour - 200 grams
• Ghee - 50 grams (plus extra for cooking)
• Cumin seeds - 1 teaspoon
• Ajwain (carom seeds) - 1/2 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Water - as needed (approximately 60 ml)
• Chopped fresh coriander - 2 tablespoons
• Chopped green chilies - 1 tablespoon (optional)

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, cumin seeds, ajwain, and salt.
2. Add the ghee to the flour mixture and rub it between your palms until it resembles coarse crumbs.
3. Gradually add water and knead the mixture into a smooth and soft dough. Cover and let it rest for 10 minutes.
4. After resting, divide the dough into 4 equal portions and roll each portion into a ball.
5. On a floured surface, flatten each ball into a thick disc (approximately 6-8 inches in diameter).
6. Sprinkle chopped coriander and green chilies on one side of the disc, fold it over, and roll it out gently again to incorporate the fillings.
7. Heat a tawa or skillet over medium heat. Place the rolled koki on the hot skillet.
8. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, applying ghee on both sides until it turns golden brown and flaky.
9. Repeat with the remaining dough portions.
10. Serve hot with yogurt or pickle.
