Instructions for the Khooba Roti

• The first step to begin with this Rajasthani Khooba Roti is to take a large mixing bowl, and add flour, salt, and water to it, and mix all the ingredients together with your hands to form crumbs.
• Now, you have to add water as per the requirement to combine it well and make a smooth but yet stiff dough.
• Keep the dough aside and cover it with a soft cotton cloth, for 15 minutes so that it rests.
• Take a large lemon sized amount from the dough and roll it to make a ball. Dust the kitchen platform well and roll out the dough ball to prepare a thick round roti. 
• Then spread a little ghee on one side of the Khooba roti and put that side of the roti on the Tawa. After some 20 seconds, turn the roti and start pinching on the upper surface of the roti properly.
• Keep repeating this step until the full roti is covered with the same design. After that, again flip the Khooba roti and roast it from the patterned side.
• See to it that both the sides of the Khooba roti are lightly browned, and then hold the roti with a tong (Chimta), take it off from the  Tawa and place it directly on the gas flames.
• Keep turning the Khooba roti and roast it from both the sides till its equally cooked from both the sides.
• Once the Khooba roti is cooked well, switch off the flame and pour a good amount of ghee on the roti when it is hot.
• Rajasthani Khooba Roti is ready to be served with Panchmel Dal, chutney, Makai Wali Bhindi or Pyaaz Ki Sabzi, buttermilk especially.
