Khoba Roti

Ingredients

• 4 cups All purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Carom seeds
• ½ teaspoon Red Chilli flakes
• To taste Salt
• ¼ cup Clarified Butter

Method

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, carom seeds, chilli flakes and salt with 2 tablespoons of clarified butter. Mix very well and knead in enough water to make a soft pliable dough. Cover with a moist muslin and keep aside for 10 minutes.
2. After 10 minutes, divide the dough in half. Roll out each half into a thick roti of about 12 to 14 inch diameter.
3. Beginning from the centre and moving outwards, pinch the surface of the roti to make a design on the roti. Repeat for the second roti.
4. Heat a griddle over low flame, place the roti design side up and cook over gentle heat. Drizzle a tablespoon of clarified butter along the edges and brush the surface with a tablespoon of clarified butter. When one side is cooked golden, carefully turn the roti over and cook on the other side. Repeat for other roti.
5. Serve hot with pickle.
