1/2 cup ghee + More for serving
Water as required
1 teaspoon Salt

Instructions

1
Khoba Roti is a traditional Rajasthani delicacy. You can enjoy it as a hearty breakfast, with a cup of tea, or simply whenever you crave a guilt-free, wholesome meal.
2
In a large bowl, take 3 cups of wheat flour.
3
Add salt and mix well.
4
Gradually add ½ cup of melted ghee, mixing it into the flour using your hands.
5
Make sure the flour is well coated with ghee. It may appear crumbly, but when you press some flour in your hand, it should hold its shape.
6
Add enough water and knead into a soft, smooth dough.
7
Rub some ghee over the dough, cover it, and let it rest for 30 minutes.
8
After resting, knead the dough once more and divide it into 3 to 4 equal portions.
9
Roll each portion into a thick roti, about ¼ inch thick.
10
Make shallow slashes with a knife on one side of the roti.
11
Using your fingers, knife, or tweezers, pinch the surface to create decorative patterns. Traditionally, this is done with fingers.
12
Heat a tawa and cook the roti on the slashed side for 1 minute—just enough to seal the base.
13
Now you can choose one of the following three cooking methods:

Method 1 (Tawa): Add a teaspoon of ghee to a hot tawa. Place the roti on it and pour a little more ghee on top. Cook both sides on medium heat until crisp and golden.

Method 2 (Oven): Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Place the roti on a baking sheet and bake for 25–30 minutes, or until golden and crisp.

Method 3 (Flame): Cook the roti directly over flame, turning both sides until done and crispy.
14
Once cooked, drizzle a teaspoon of ghee over the top of the roti.
15
Khoba Roti is ready. Serve it hot with dal, curd, or any curry of your choice.
