How To Make Rajasthani Daal aur Khooba Roti

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

Rajasthani daal aur Khooba roti is a specialty 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.

Traditionally 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.

Traditionally this roti is made 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  khooba rotis 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 🙂
