Khoba Roti- a Rajasthani Bread preparation

November 12, 2016 by Pranay Singh Leave a Comment

Khoba Roti

Wait a moment and have a look. No seriously, have a look. Could there be a bread preparation more aesthetically pleasing than this. An absolute delight for eyes, it is no surprise that this roti originates from the land of kings- Rajasthan.

It is the largest state of India by area in which a vast majority of land is the part of Thar Desert. The food that evolved in this state over the period of centuries was deeply influenced by geographical conditions.

Khoba Roti

Scarcity of water and huge tracts of desert land made vegetation and cultivation very difficult. As they say “When the going gets tough, the tough gets going”. This phrase is apt to describe the general populace of Rajasthan. They are the brilliant innovators, which is what explains culinary gems like ker-sangri (Ker- a berry, sangri- beans), bina pani ki roti, khus khus ki roti and several other masterpieces that took the Indian culinary scene by storm.

Being an arid state, wheat, pearl millet and sorghum are some of the commonly produced cereals in Rajasthan and several varieties of rotis are made from its flour. Khoba roti is made of wheat and looking at the ingredient list one can derive that it is a fairly simple preparation. What could be more challenging is that eye-pleasing carving that is visible in the images. It needs to be rolled out flat and thicker than the normal chapatis/phulkas and therefore one must be watchful while cooking it. The outer crust of the bread attains a bit of smoky flavor by direct exposure to flame and also is a bit crisp. The inner surface is soft and perfectly cooked.

A perfect simple Rajasthani lunch for me is Khoba Roti, Rajasthani Panchmel Dal and Lasuni Chutney. Typing these name is making me crave for this meal. Time to end this post and head for the kitchen. Delve into Rajasthani delight this week and remember to post your comments below.
