06 Dec Jowar Koki / Gluten free Sindhi Koki
Koki is a delicious flatbread from Sindhi Cuisine. Onions, fresh coriander and chillies make Kokis a flavourful dish. Above all, the crunchy pomegranate seeds lends an authentic flavour to this dish. Traditionally wheat flour is used to make kokis. But to make them gluten free, I have used Jowar flour to make this Jowar Koki. Finally, to give it a soft touch, I have added a little gram flour as well. The result is a soft, chewy and crunchy kokis. Traditionally Kokis need lots of ghee. But i have used very little oil instead.
As with any other recipe, every Sindhi household has its own version of koki. Some add cumin & pepper, some add ajwain while some add kasuri methi too. You are free to innovate and make your own kokis. It is an ideal lunch box dish.
Sindhi community has this dish for breakfast / dinner with curd. Some have it with tea also. Enjoy this Jowar koki with any side dish of your choice.
