    Sindhi Masala Koki

    Published: May 11, 2013 · by Nisha

    Sindhi cuisine native to the Sindh region, now in Pakistan is rich, dynamic and varied as any other Indian cuisine. The Sindhi region belongs to the Indus valley civilization - an ancient Indian civilization Mohenjadaro.  As wheat is the staple food, parathas and rotis are more common. One such variety is Masala Koki - A Sindhi paratha that is crispy and flaky unlike the regular ones we have and is stuffed with aromatic spices and onions. Addition of pomegranate seeds or Aamchur gives a very unique taste to this paratha. It is such a healthy filling by itself and perfect for breakfast. Nevertheless you can have this with pickle, butter, curd or in a more Sindhi way with papads.  
                       Sindhi Paratha,
    This is off to the first day of the blogging marathon 28. Check out the recipes of other blog marathon runners over here.

    Masala Koki - A crispy, flaky paratha filed with aromatic masala and onions.

    Prep time: 5 mins | Cook time: 30 Mins | Total time: Under 45 mins
    Serves: 6 no's

    Ingredients

    • 1 Cup Wheat flour
    • ½ Cup Finely chopped small onions
    • 2 no's Green chillies, finely chopped
    • ¼ Cup Finely chopped coriander leaves
    • 2 tsp Amchur powder (raw mango powder) (4)
    • 1 tsp Red Chilli powder
    • Salt as per taste
    • 2 Tbsp Ghee
    • Water to knead (~½ cup or less)
    Instructions

    1. Mix all the ingredients (except water) in a mixing bowl. Once well combined, sprinkle very little water at a time and knead the dough. Knead them just until everything combines and gather into one mass. 
    2. Divide them into portions.(~ 6 for the quantity mentioned)
    3. Take one at a time and with the help of your palm and finger, flatten into a circle on a, just like a roti or paratha. Use your hand to flatten it and not the rolling pin. 
    4. Heat the tawa / griddle and cook them on both sides until they turn golden brown in colour. Drizzle ghee/clarified butter while flipping the sides. 
    5. Repeat the same for the remaining dough. 

    Notes

    1. Do not roll this out with the rolling pin. Koki's are crispy and flaky. To get this texture, it has to be flattened out with hands otherwise it will be a normal paratha. 
    2. For 1 Cup of wheat flour, the number of servings for Koki will be less than the number of servings for a roti or paratha. So increase the quantity of the wheat flour than the quantity you take for rotis. 
    3. You can also flatten the parathas directly on the tawa or use any non stick plastic sheet instead of parchment paper. 
    4. The actual ingredient for this recipe is crushed pomegranate seeds or powder. The best substitute for this is Aamchur powder in case you do not have that.
