2 tbsp ghee
1/2 tsp cardamom powder
pinch of black pepper powder
pinch of dry ginger powder
water as required
1 tsp ghee
2 tbsp jaggery powder
1 tsp ghee
chopped dry fruits (optional)
In a platter, take 2 cups of whole wheat flour, add 2 tbsp ghee, ½ tsp cardamom powder, a pinch of black pepper powder, a pinch of ginger powder and water as required. Knead the mixture into a hard dough.
To make roti, divide the dough into small equal circular pieces. Flatten the dough with a rolling pin and apply some ghee on it to make it soft.
Cut the roti from the half center and gently roll it and then flatten it with your hand.
Cook the round roti on a heated pan, put ghee on both sides and cook it till it turns light brown on both sides.
Once roti is cooked, transfer the roti to a plate, add 2 tbsp powdered jaggery and 1 tsp ghee to it. Then break the roti into small crumbs with fingers.
Garnish it with chopped dry-fruits. Aate ki churi is ready to serve.
Aate ki Churi is made from a tight dough of whole wheat flour and ghee. It is cooked on tava like a chapati. Whole wheat atta is rich in vitamins, minerals and fibre.
A generous amount of ghee and jaggery is added on the top of this roti which is then crumbled to a powder and served hot.
This is a truly satisfying and healthy dish.
