Dahi ki Roti Awadhi

🇮🇳 Indian

Awadhi dahi roti, the soft yogurt-dough bread from Lucknow's old kitchens. Rolled, rested and flame-kissed — the real thing. Pile in a basket lined with cloth and let everyone grab.

Prep 28 min Cook 20 min Serves 4 Medium

Ingredients

  • Yogurt2 cups, whisked
  • Saltto taste
  • Ghee3 tbsp
  • Wheat Flour3 cups
  • Green Cardamom1 tsp

Instructions

  1. 1

    Bring the dough together with lukewarm water, then knead hard — soft dough makes soft bread, no shortcuts.

  2. 2

    Cover and rest; use this time to make the filling or get the pan hot.

  3. 3

    Divide into equal balls, then roll — plain, or stuffed and sealed like little parcels before rolling gently.

  4. 4

    Slap onto the hot tawa; when dark spots appear, flip and press at the edges with a cloth till it balloons.

  5. 5

    Brush with butter or ghee, stack in a cloth to keep steam-soft, and serve immediately.

Chef's tip

Stuffed breads need gentle rolling — burst filling is heartbreak.
