Ingredients

• 2 cups whole wheat flour
• 1 medium, finely chopped onion
• 1 finely chopped green chili
• 2 tablespoons, finely chopped coriander leaves
• 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
• 1 teaspoon carom seeds (ajwain)
• 1 teaspoon red chili powder
• 0.5 teaspoon turmeric powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 3 tablespoons ghee or vegetable oil
• 0.75 cup water
• 3 tablespoons ghee or vegetable oil for cooking

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, finely chopped onion, green chili, coriander leaves, cumin seeds, carom seeds, red chili powder, turmeric powder, and salt.

Step 2

Add 3 tablespoons of ghee or vegetable oil to the flour mixture and mix well until the mixture is crumbly.

Step 3

Gradually add water to the mixture, kneading continuously to form a firm and smooth dough. Adjust the water as needed to achieve the right consistency.

Step 4

Divide the dough into 4 equal-sized balls.

Step 5

Take one dough ball and roll it out into a slightly thick disc, about 5 inches in diameter, using a rolling pin. Use a little dry flour to prevent sticking while rolling.

Step 6

Repeat the process for the remaining dough balls.

Step 7

Heat a tawa or a flat skillet over medium heat. Once hot, place a rolled-out disc on the tawa.

Step 8

Cook for 1-2 minutes until small bubbles begin to appear on the surface.

Step 9

Flip the koki and spread about 1 teaspoon of ghee or vegetable oil around the edges and on the surface.

Step 10

Cook for another 1-2 minutes, pressing gently with a spatula to ensure even cooking.

Step 11

Flip once more and apply another teaspoon of ghee or oil on the other side.

Step 12

Cook until both sides are golden brown with crispy spots.

Step 13

Remove from the tawa and repeat the process with the remaining rolled kokis.

Step 14

Serve hot with yogurt, pickle, or chai.
