A very special and one of the  lost recipes of India.It is being called as DOLI KI ROTI.

DOLI KI ROTI is a flat bread leavened with sour dough.It is a dish from the lands of Multans and the undivided Punjab.It gets its texture and flavour from the spiced-sour dough.

P.c:google

It is being cooked and eaten fondly in the seasons of summer.The main flavouring of the roti is being prepared by adding water,jaggery and spices like poppy seeds,nutmeg,cinnamon,etc.
Now,this flavouring is mixed with atta to prepare the dough.
This dough has to be prepared at least 2 days before the doli ki roti to be cooked.
Once the dough is completely fermented,the roti is rolled, deeply fried and served to eat.

But the most interesting fact about why is it being called as doli ki roti? Still has many stories.One of the most famous is that, as the name suggests bread was prepared and given to the newly married daughter along with her doli during vidai,so that she can eat it during the travel.Also,the roti can be easily preserved for 2-3 days.

But, sadly this traditional dish has long lost in the history of punjab.Although it is not consumed at a wider scale as it used to be ,but it is still kept alive by some of the locals and old members of the multan's families.
