If you are tired of ordinary flatbreads and want to try something new for breakfast or an evening snack, you can make crispy flatbread (Khasta Roti). This flatbread is characterized by a crispy outer texture and a soft interior, and its preparation is quite simple.
The flatbread is an important part of Indian cuisine, which is prepared in almost every home daily. However, if you desire variety in flavors, it is worth trying Khasta Roti. It turns out slightly crispy on the outside and soft inside.
It can be easily served for breakfast in the morning or as an evening snack, accompanied by tea, yogurt, or butter. Below is the recipe for making delicious Khasta Roti at home and a list of necessary ingredients.
For preparation, you will need: 2 cups of wheat flour, 2 teaspoons of ghee, half a teaspoon of baking powder, 1 cup of milk, half a teaspoon of cumin seeds, salt to taste, and ghee for frying.
To begin, take the wheat flour in a large bowl. Add the baking powder, cumin, salt, and 2 teaspoons of ghee, and mix thoroughly. Then, gradually adding the milk, knead a soft dough. Cover the dough and leave it for a few minutes. After that, form small balls from the dough.
Take one ball and roll it into a flatbread shape. Heat the pan and grease it with a little ghee, then place the flatbread on it. Fry over medium heat on both sides, periodically brushing with ghee. When the flatbread becomes golden and crispy on both sides, remove it from the pan. Repeat the process with the remaining balls.
Hot Khasta Roti should be served with butter, yogurt, chutney, or tea.
When kneading the dough, do not add the milk all at once, but pour it gradually to obtain a soft dough. Also, be sure to cover the dough after kneading for a few minutes, as this ensures good quality of the flatbread.
Do not roll the flatbread too thick or too thin, otherwise, its texture will be incorrect. Maintain medium heat while frying; high heat can cause the flatbread to burn on the outside while remaining raw inside. Before placing the flatbread on the pan, ensure that the pan is well heated. It is best to enjoy Khasta Roti when it is hot.
