Plain Khari

Description

Plain Khari is a type of puff pastry renowned for its light and airy layers, created through a process known as lamination. The dough is rolled out and layered with butter or ghee, then folded and rolled multiple times to create numerous thin layers. This process results in a pastry that puffs up and becomes crispy when baked, with distinct flaky layers.
Ingredients:
All-purpose flour
Butter or ghee
Salt
Water
To prepare Plain Khari, the dough is made by combining all-purpose flour, salt, and water to form a smooth and elastic dough. The dough is then rolled out into a thin sheet, and butter or ghee is spread evenly over the surface. The dough is then folded and rolled multiple times to create layers.
After lamination, the dough is rested in the refrigerator to chill before being rolled out again and shaped into desired forms, such as squares or rectangles. It is then baked in a hot oven until golden brown and crispy.
Plain Khari can be enjoyed plain or seasoned with salt and spices for a savory twist. It can also be sprinkled with sugar or flavored with spices like cinnamon for a sweet variation. Plain Khari is a versatile snack that can be enjoyed on its own or paired with dips, chutneys, or spreads.
