Khameeri Roti
Old Delhi khameeri roti, naturally fermented and pillowy. Rolled, rested and flame-kissed — the real thing. Pile in a basket lined with cloth and let everyone grab.
Ingredients
- Yogurt2 cups, whisked
- Saltto taste
- Ghee3 tbsp
- All-Purpose Flour2 cups
- Sugar1 tsp
Instructions
- 1
Mix the flour(s) with salt, then add water slowly, kneading 8-10 minutes to a soft, springy dough that springs back when poked.
- 2
Cover and rest; use this time to make the filling or get the pan hot.
- 3
Shape each ball, flatten, and either roll plain or enclose a spoonful of filling and roll with the seam down.

Cook the first side dry, the second side with ghee, and finish directly on the flame for the puff.
- 5
Brush with butter or ghee, stack in a cloth to keep steam-soft, and serve immediately.
Chef's tip
The puff comes from steam; don't poke holes with a fork.
