Ingredients
- 250 grams Whole wheat flour
- 75 grams Ghee or clarified butter
- 50 grams Yogurt
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 50 milliliters Water
- 1 tablespoon Poppy seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon Cardamom powder
Directions
Step 1
In a large bowl, combine whole wheat flour, salt, and baking powder. Mix well.
Step 2
Add yogurt and ghee to the dry ingredients. Use your fingers to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Step 3
Gradually add water, a little at a time, mixing until a soft dough forms. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth.
Step 4
Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for at least 15 minutes.
Step 5
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 6
Once the dough has rested, divide it into 6 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball and then flatten it slightly.
Step 7
Roll out each piece of dough into a circle about 4 inches in diameter. Brush the top lightly with ghee and sprinkle some poppy seeds and cardamom powder over it.
Step 8
Fold the edges of the dough towards the center to form layers, then roll it out again gently to maintain the layers while flattening it to form a thin disc.
Step 9
Place the prepared bakar khanis on the baking sheet and brush the tops with a little more ghee.
Step 10
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until they are crisp and golden brown.
Step 11
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.
