    9. Serve hot with chai or lassi. You can also serve it with some tomato ketchup or mint chutney.

    Top tip: The best way of making 'koki' is on a cast iron pan. This will improve the iron in body in the long run. However be careful while adding butter. You can also make it on non stick pan.

    How to eat koki?

    Traditionally, we serve hot koki paratha with some papad and white butter smeared on it. I feel Sindhi cuisine has both minimalist cooking as well as elaborate fares. It tastes great if you have it with a dollop of ghee or clarified butter. If you like eggs, serve it with eggs sunny side up or half fry or a simple omelet. You could also add some jam if travelling and cannot have yogurt.

    I love basar koki with extra butter or ghee smeared on it. You do not need any other dip with it. Simple koki yet yummy. Serve it hot with a cup of tea. It almost tastes like a biscuit and yet there is no refined flour in it. It is a versatile dish and can be served with some potato curry as well instead of 'poori'.

    Variations

    Sindhi breakfast list has many gems you can make o not just plain phulka and parathas.

    Kali mirch ki koki: We also make a special koki with black pepper. This is given to new mums for energy. This roti recipe helps them with immunity, due to black pepper and gives them the boost of extra energy from ghee. I must thank my MIL for this recipe. It helped me when I needed it the most.

    Besan koki: Besani/ besan ki koki or besan ki roti is a traditional flatbread with onions and spices. It is gluten free. Can be made vegan too.

    Juar jo dodho: Traditional Jowar roti eaten for breakfast.

    Sindhi lola: Also known as mitho lolo or Sindhi loli is a sweet flatbread made with jaggery and whole wheat atta.

    Storage

    You can store it in an air tight container and refrigerate. Stays for 3-4 days. However, eating fresh food is best. It is better to knead the dough and refrigerate. Make fresh koki when you want.
