Khoba, which means incisions on bread, makes this Rajasthani bread a delight- ful sight. It is so pretty that it is the single most reason to go ahead and try it. These incisions help to capture the extra ghee or butter in which it is cooked. I have added a few of my own flavours to enhance the taste.

Prep: 15 min
Cook: 10 min
Yields: 4 Servings

Ingredients

  • 2 1⁄2 cups whole wheat
  • Salt to taste 1⁄2 cup ghee
  • flour 1 tbsp fenugreek leaves
  • clarified butter 2 tsp ajwain

Method

  1. Mix together flour, salt, 1 tbsp ghee, ajwain, fenugreek leaves, and water to make a stiff dough. Let it rest for 10 minutes.
  2. Now divide the dough into balls. Roll out round and thick discs about 8 diameter. Using your fingers, push, pinch and lift the dough at vari- ous places to make indents and pinches on the surface. Do the same on the sides as well.
  3. Heat a griddle and cook with the pinched side up first, then turn. Apply ghee on both sides and cook on medium heat for a nicely done crisp bread. Serve hot.
