Recipe
1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, salt, cumin seeds, and anardana.
2
Add 2 tablespoons of melted ghee to the flour and rub it in with your fingertips until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
3
Mix in the finely chopped onions, green chilies, and fresh coriander leaves.
4
Gradually add warm water and knead into a very firm, stiff dough. Let it rest for 10 minutes.
5
Divide the dough into equal-sized ball portions.
6
Roll out each ball into a thick disc. Since the koki is thick, it may develop slight cracks around the edges; smooth them out with your fingers.
7
Heat a heavy iron tawa (griddle) over medium heat and place the rolled koki on it.
8
Cook for a minute, then flip. Press the surface gently using a flat spatula or a clean kitchen towel to create characteristic brown spots.
9
Drizzle a generous amount of ghee around the edges and on top, roasting until both sides are golden brown and perfectly crisp.
10
Serve hot and fresh alongside bowls of fresh curd and spicy mango pickle.
