Ingredients

• 2 cups Whole wheat flour
• 1 medium Finely chopped onion
• 2 Green chilies
• 2 tablespoons Coriander leaves
• 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
• 3 tablespoons Ghee or oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Water

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of whole wheat flour, 1 finely chopped medium onion, 2 finely chopped green chilies, and 2 tablespoons of chopped coriander leaves.

Step 2

Add 1 teaspoon of cumin seeds and 1 teaspoon of salt to the mixture. Mix well using your hands to ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed.

Step 3

Heat 3 tablespoons of ghee or oil in a small pan and add it to the flour mixture.

Step 4

Slowly add water, little by little, kneading the mixture into a stiff dough. The dough should be slightly tougher than regular chapati dough.

Step 5

Once the dough is ready, divide it into equal portions, each about the size of a tennis ball.

Step 6

Roll each portion into a ball and then flatten it slightly between your palms.

Step 7

On a lightly floured surface, use a rolling pin to roll out each ball into a thick circle, about 6 inches in diameter. The koki should be thicker than a regular chapati.

Step 8

Preheat a griddle or tawa over medium heat. Place the rolled koki on the griddle.

Step 9

Cook on one side until light brown spots appear, which should take about 2 minutes.

Step 10

Flip the koki and cook on the other side. Drizzle a little ghee or oil around the edges to enhance the flavor and texture, and press gently with a spatula to ensure even cooking.

Step 11

Continue cooking, flipping occasionally, until both sides are golden brown and the koki has a crispy texture.

Step 12

Remove from the griddle and repeat the process with the remaining dough. Serve hot with yogurt or pickle.
