Khoba Roti is delicious,beautiful flatbread prepared using Wheat flour that can be served for lunch / dinner. I call it Indian Focaccia. Khoba means indentation in hindi. This is thicker and tastier than regular chapati.Traditionally this is prepared in tandoor but I have prepared it using the ordinary tava and it really tastes awesome.
I must say this is one of the best flat bread recipe that I have tried. I have served it with white bean rassa
Preparation time : 30 to 40 minutes
Serves : 6 to 8

Steps to prepare Kobha Roti
