I don't know the exact difference between a Koki and a Loli. Koki is something my friend used to bring. Loli is something I read in Madhur Jaffrey's book World Vegetarian. and But I simplified it "American Desi way" as I used the leftover salsa from the Superbowl party. :-DSalsa Loli
Salsa Flat bread inspired by Madhur Jaffrey's book World Vegetarian
Ingredients
1 cup wheat flour
1 tbsp wheat germs (optional)
1 tbsp flax seeds, ground (optional)
1/4 cup salsa from the bottle/jar (with tomatoes, onions, peppers and all that fun stuff!!)
1 tsp oil
1 tbsp cilantro, chopped
salt to taste
water as needed to bind the dough
Oil for roasting
Method
1. Mix flour, salt, wheat germs & ground flax seeds - if using.
2. Add salsa, cilantro and salt - remember salsa has salt but you will still need some more.
3. Mix without adding water. Get an idea about the moisture salsa has and then if needed, add water gingerly to bind the dough.
4. Add spoonful of oil. Knead well.
5. Heat a frying pan.
6. Make 7 balls. Roll into discs. Prick with a fork or a blunt knife.
7. Roast on the hot pan/tawa adding oil as necessary till brown spots start appearing on both sides.
8. Serve with achar, raita or dahi.
Note -
1. Instead of salsa, you can use minced onion, tomatoes & chilies and proceed.

Koki and loli are new to me.

What a great idea to add Salsa! I always keep hot Salsa in the fridge. Koki and Loli are new to me. Looks good!
I made Jackfruit-chana Ghashi at Aroma, you might like it. Check it if you have time.Have a great weekend! :)
This is new to me..Looks yumm..Adding salsa is a great twist..
This looks and sounds delicious, Meera. It's a completely new recipe to me.
Do visit my blog: I recently made, and just posted, your chawlichi amti. It was delicious, and both Desi and I loved it. It was gone pretty fast!
Koki is also called as loli,and it could me made in two ways,one with onion and chillies etc,another with just salt and pepper
The difference between a koki and roti is that koki is cooked twice.First the dough is rolled a bit(real thick puris)and roasted a bit,then rolled again to thick paratha like and roasted again on griddle
Traditionally tomatoes aren't added in koki,its just,onions,chillies,coriander leaves(optional)salt,oil,cumin seeds and anardana
But i can see no harm in adding salsa,it will definately enhance spiciness and nutrition quotient too
Chitra:

Hey, thanks so much for explaining everything so well. As I was telling you, my friend's recipe did say about rolling, roasting and rolling again, but I thought there is some mistake!! My bad!!!
