Koki recipe | sindhi koki recipe

Koki roti, i first tasted in Kailash parbat Singapore. I vividly remember, one day me and hubby went for shopping and were very hungry after that. Went into Kailash Parbat, ordered a chaat platter , lassi and this koki too. But after the lassi and chaat platter we can’t finish the koki roti as it was loaded with ghee. It was so nice and from that day itself i wanted to try this at home. Koki is traditonally a Sindhi recipe. I finally tried this last week. We all enjoyed this at home. Traditionally it is shalow fried in ghee, but i didn’t do it at home. But if you like, you can add more ghee while cooking. Though u see cracks in the edges of the roti, it was very soft and not dry. The method by which we make makes it to look like that. Try it at home and let me know how they turned out. I slightly adapted the recipe from a Sanjeev kapoor’s recipe.

  • Immediately take this out and make it into a ball again. Do not over cook the roti, else it wil be very stiff and you will find it very difficult to roll the roti . Also the  koki will be hard then.
