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, that are both baked and fried. 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. So do give it a try by checking out the step by step pictorial recipe to prepare it.
- 2 cups whole wheat flour
- salt to taste
- 2 tbsp. melted ghee
- 2 tbsp. yoghurt
- 1/2 tsp. ajwain (carom seeds)
- water as required to knead
- melted ghee to drizzle
- Rajasthani dal or any side dish to serve
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.
