Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup Whole Wheat Flour whole
- 1/4 tsp Anardana dried pomegranate seeds
- 1/2 tsp Chili Powder red
- 1 1/2 tsp Salt or to taste
- 1/4 tsp Cumin Seeds
Fresh Ingredients
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, anardana, red chili powder, salt, cumin seeds, chopped onions, green chili, and cilantro.
- Add the ghee or oil. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined.
- Gradually add water while mixing to form a soft dough. Knead the dough until smooth.
- Cover the dough and let it rest for 10-15 minutes. This allows the gluten to relax, resulting in a softer flatbread.
- Divide the dough into equal-sized portions. Roll each portion into a thick circle, dusting with additional flour as needed to prevent sticking.
- Heat a flat griddle or tawa over medium heat. Spread a thin layer of ghee on the hot tawa.
- Place a rolled-out Koki on the tawa and cook for a few minutes until small bubbles appear on the surface.
- Flip the Koki and spread a little more ghee on the cooked side. Continue cooking until the other side develops golden brown spots.
- Serve the hot Koki with a dollop of yogurt and some papad for a complete and satisfying meal.
Recipe Notes
Good To Know
- For extra crunch and flavor, try adding a tablespoon of coarsely crushed roasted cumin or ajwain (carom) seeds to the dough alongside the anardana.
- If you prefer a softer koki, cover the cooked breads with a clean kitchen towel for a few minutes after cooking to trap steam, which will slightly soften the exterior while maintaining the inner texture.
- To make your koki vegan, substitute desi ghee with cold-pressed mustard oil or a neutral vegetable oil; the mustard oil will add a traditional earthy aroma typical of Sindhi cuisine.
Expert Tips
- Don't roll the koki too thin; a slightly thicker koki ensures it remains soft inside while getting crispy outside.
- Use medium heat while cooking the koki to prevent burning and ensure even cooking.
- Serve koki hot with a side of yogurt or chutney for a complete and satisfying meal.
Storage Instructions
- Koki keeps well for travel or lunch boxes; cool completely, wrap in parchment, and store in an airtight container for up to 24 hours—just reheat briefly on a tawa before serving to revive its crispness.
