Sindhi Koki
Koki, is a flat bread or pancake; in the terms that the people from the west look at it. It is mildly but perfectly spiced to bring out the flavours of North west India.
Due to lack of proper vegetation in certain areas of north west of India, gram flour was used as a flavour enhancer or the flavour of most of the dishes prepared there. Sindhis come from the Sindh province (currently in Pakistan) and obviously belong to the north west part of India.
Koki is a frequently eaten breakfast dish in a sindhi household. We prepare the koki in a couple of ways. The most famous is Basar ji koki (koki made of onions) and the other one is the Sadhi koki (plain koki without spices). Most of the cuisines in India have a dish which has some grain flour mixed with spices and eaten; the best example I can think of is the Thalipeeth in the Maharashtrian cuisine. Koki and Thalipeeth are not brother sisters but slightly distant cousins.
