Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup Whole Wheat Flour whole
- 1.5 tsp Salt or to taste
- 0.5 tsp Chili Powder red
Wet Ingredients
- 1/4 cup Vegetable Oil
- 1/2 cup Water or as needed to form a dough
Fresh Herbs & Vegetables
- 1 cup Fenugreek Leaves methi, washed and finely chopped
- 1 Onion large, very finely chopped
- 1 Chili finely chopped, green
- 1/4 cup Coriander finely chopped
For Serving
- 2 tbsp Ghee for greasing the kokis
Instructions
Prepare the Dough
- Combine whole wheat flour, salt, red chili powder, oil, chopped fenugreek leaves, onion, green chili, and coriander in a large bowl. Gradually add water, mixing until a firm, pliable dough forms. Knead well for 5-7 minutes. Cover and let the dough rest for at least 30 minutes.
Roll and Cook the Kokis
- Divide the dough into small, equal-sized balls. Roll each ball into a slightly thick circle, thicker than a typical chapati.
Cook on Tawa
- Heat a flat griddle or tawa over medium-low heat. Cook the kokis on both sides until golden brown and cooked through. This may take 2-3 minutes per side.
Finish and Serve
- Once cooked, lightly grease both sides of each koki with ghee. Serve hot with yogurt, pickle, or chutney.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for Perfect Methi Kokis
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of asafoetida (hing) to the dough.
- Don't overcrowd the tawa while cooking; cook in batches to ensure even browning.
- Adjust the amount of green chilies to your preferred spice level.
- If the dough feels too dry, add a tablespoon of water at a time until it reaches the right consistency.
