Sindhi Koki
We all have some childhood memories that involve food. If you ever ask me about my childhood memories that has to be the one where I used to get robbed by my friends whenever Mom gave me Koki in my lunch box. Gladly, I learned after a few years that this would continue to happen and I cannot stop my friends so I started taking an extra Tiffin just in case my friends eat all of it, I still am left with some for myself. What to do Koki is just so brilliant.
The Sindhi Koki is a magnificent roti prepared with wheat flour perked up with a large array of flavours like onions, coriander, cumin seeds and green chillies that enhance the overall taste.
