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.
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 your knife.
Make designs using a small tweezer.
Place them on a greased baking sheet & brush with some ghee. Bake in a
microwave oven in the convection mode at 180 degrees C. for 15-20 minutes. When done, drizzle some more ghee over the roti and serve with Rajasthani Panc
Make designs with a small scissor.
Make it the traditional way by pinching with your thumb & index finger.
