This is a popular breakfast flatbread dish from the Sindhi cuisine.

It’s definitely not your usual onion paratha. Sindhi KOKI is made of whole-wheat flour, besan, onions and spices. It differs from the parathas in its unique cooking technique, where dough is rolled and cooked twice .The texture of the KOKI is flaky, crispy on the outside and chewy soft on the inside.

Serve it hot with curd, pickle and chutney.

I enjoyed this delicious healthy KOKI with my evening chai
