Rajasthani Daal with Khooba Roti

October 16, 2012 by anjanaskc 20 Comments

Rajasthani daal with khooba roti -Mildly spiced mix lentils with a special Indian flatbread – speciality of Rajasthan (India)

Khooba roti is a speciality of Rajasthan which is made with whole wheat flour.The half cooked roti is pinched all over to make indentations and then cooked again on slow flame.Traditionaly it is cooked on charcoal fire but we can cook it on gas stove too.When the roti is cooked completely it is smeared generously with melted ghee/butter so that the indentations are filled with ghee.

Traditionaly this roti is much thicker and bigger then the regular roti but as no body in my home likes so big and thick roti so I make it smaller and thinner but from this, you can get the idea of how to make it and so make it according to your preference .

This Rajasthani Daal is a combination of 3 different lentils boiled together, then all the spices are fried in ghee and mixed in the daal and then the daal was simmered on low flame and then a final tempering of ghee ,cumin and chili powder is done before serving:)

    This roti was a favorite at my parents' place whenever a rajasthani daal or spicy mutton dish was for dinner. It was made very thick and large and only one roti was enough for a family of six 🙂
