Ingredients

• 2 cups Whole wheat flour
• 1 large, finely chopped Onion
• 1 finely chopped Green chili
• 0.25 cup, chopped Cilantro
• 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
• 0.5 teaspoon Carom seeds (Ajwain)
• 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0 as needed Water
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 0 for cooking the kokis Oil or vegetable ghee

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Add 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil to the flour mixture and mix well until the oil is evenly distributed.

Step 3

Gradually add water, a little at a time, and knead the mixture to form a soft, pliable dough. The dough should not be too hard or too sticky. Adjust the water amount as necessary.

Step 4

Once the dough is ready, cover it with a damp cloth and let it rest for about 10 minutes.

Step 5

After the resting period, divide the dough into 8 equal portions and roll each portion into a ball.

Step 6

Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat.

Step 7

Take one dough ball, flatten it slightly, and roll it into a thick circle, about 6 inches in diameter. Use a rolling pin, and dust with a little dry flour if needed to prevent sticking.

Step 8

Place the rolled koka on the heated skillet. Cook on one side for about 1-2 minutes, until you see small bubbles forming.

Step 9

Flip the koka, apply a little oil or vegetable ghee on top, and cook for another 1-2 minutes.

Step 10

Flip again, apply a bit of oil on the other side, and cook until both sides are golden brown and crisp.

Step 11

Repeat the rolling and cooking process for the remaining dough balls.

Step 12

Serve the Dairy-Free Sindhi Kokis hot with your favorite chutney or pickle for a delicious breakfast or snack.
