-
Image
Sindhi koki -  is one of the most famous dishes from Sindhi cuisine , Sindhi Koki is a flatbread with a fabulous taste and interesting texture.  It is a breakfast dish made out of wheat flour, gram flour, spices, onions and fresh herbs.  This is most relished snack by Sindhi people, mostly eaten with butter,curd,pickle and papad.Grab some HOT CHAI and you will end up eating a quick fix, filling and most satisfying breakfast.      Unlike a chapati or a paratha, that we usually eat, this is not very soft but is meant to be a little crunchy, chewy, and slightly hard.      While the soft onions add a little sweet taste too it, the addition of coriander leaves makes it look a lot more attractive.Sindhi koki remains absolutely fresh for 24 hours without refrigeration.       Because of this reason, Sindhi koki is the most preferred flat-bread that people generally carry for a picnic or travel.It also suits best for a perfect lunch box meal.

Rajasthani Dal Baati & Churma

-
Image
This dish is a specialty of Rajasthani cuisine and is something without which the flavour of Rajasthani dishes will feel incomplete. Rajasthan's favourite, dal baati is a heavenly combination often served with a sweet dish of choorma. Made with a dough, deep fried in ghee, dal baati is an ideal dinner option in winters. This is one of the easy steps to make Daal Baati, which consists of crispy baatis made of wheat flour, sooji or semolina, salt and ghee. These baatis are cooked in tandoor which gives them a smoky flavour when dipped in the dal but in home you can make using microwave oven or pressure cooker.     This dal is also a very unique dish and is prepared using 3-4 types of lentils. This dal has a tadka of several authentic Rajasthani spices that gives it a unique taste. While preparing this main dish recipe, it is suggested that you should use a generous amount of ghee while making the baatis, as then only the real flavour of this dish will come out.Rajasth
