Sindhi Koki is a 'parantha' or Indian flat bread. We make it with loads of love, green onions and chillies. It is perfect for breakfast and a great alternative to eating white bread. It is a great breakfast. Sindhi Traditional paratha which is best even for travel. You can combine it with an omelette or egg Benedict. If you are a vegetarian, with some roasted papad and curd or yogurt.
Children love with with some white butter smeared on it. It tastes great if you have it with a dollop of ghee or clarified butter. You could also add some jam if travelling and cannot have yogurt. The best way of making 'koki' will be on a non stick pan with minimum oil. You can also make it on cast iron pan. This will improve the iron in body in the long run. However be careful while adding butter. I love 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 no refined flour in it. It is a versatile dish and can be served with some potato curry as well instead of 'poori'.
