Sindhi koki is a roti prepared with wholewheat flour flavoured with chopped onions and other ingredients. But unlike rotis, these are crunchy and a little thicker in texture. You can serve these rotis with pickle or curds and can eat it for breakfast, lunch or dinner. They taste great just on its own too, i.e. without any accompaniment. I am told that in Sindhi homes, papad is also served alongwith kokis. Â
