Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams Whole wheat flour
- 75 grams Ghee or clarified butter
- 50 grams Yogurt
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 50 milliliters Water
- 1 tablespoon Poppy seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon Cardamom powder
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine whole wheat flour, salt, and baking powder. Mix well.
Add yogurt and ghee to the dry ingredients. Use your fingers to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually add water, a little at a time, mixing until a soft dough forms. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth.
Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for at least 15 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Once the dough has rested, divide it into 6 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball and then flatten it slightly.
Roll out each piece of dough into a circle about 4 inches in diameter. Brush the top lightly with ghee and sprinkle some poppy seeds and cardamom powder over it.
Fold the edges of the dough towards the center to form layers, then roll it out again gently to maintain the layers while flattening it to form a thin disc.
Place the prepared bakar khanis on the baking sheet and brush the tops with a little more ghee.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until they are crisp and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.
