Learn how to make traditional desi ghee choori with hot roti, gur and pure desi ghee. Easy recipe in English and Urdu from Amma’s Ingredients.
Some recipes don’t need complicated ingredients to feel special. Choori is one of those timeless South Asian comfort foods built around three simple things: freshly made roti, gur (jaggery) and rich pure desi ghee.
Warm, soft and wonderfully nostalgic, traditional choori is a reminder that some of the most memorable flavours come from the simplest recipes passed down through generations. At the heart of a good choori is desi ghee. Using Amma’s Ingredients Desi Ghee while the roti is still piping hot lets the ghee melt into every piece and meet the deep sweetness of gur.
Traditional Desi Ghee Choori Recipe
Serves: 2 | Prep time: 10 minutes
Ingredients
- 2 fresh hot whole-wheat rotis
- 3 tbsp Amma’s Ingredients Desi Ghee
- 3–4 tbsp grated gur (jaggery), or according to taste
- ¼ tsp cardamom powder (optional)
- 1 tbsp chopped almonds or pistachios (optional)
Method
- Start with fresh rotis. Prepare two fresh whole-wheat rotis and keep them hot. The warmth is important because it helps the desi ghee melt evenly through the mixture.
- Tear the rotis. Place the hot rotis in a bowl and tear them into small pieces.
- Add the desi ghee. While the roti is still warm, add about three tablespoons of Amma’s Ingredients Desi Ghee. The heat gently melts the ghee so it coats every piece.
- Add the gur. Add 3–4 tablespoons of grated gur, depending on how sweet you like your choori.
- Crush and combine. With clean hands, gently crush and mix the roti, gur and ghee until you have a soft, crumbly mixture. The gur begins to soften while the ghee brings everything together.
- Add optional flavour. Mix in a little cardamom powder for a traditional touch. Chopped almonds or pistachios add texture.
- Serve warm. Choori is best enjoyed immediately, while it is soft and fragrant.
The Traditional Choori Ratio
For two rotis, a simple starting ratio is:
2 rotis + 3 tbsp Amma’s Ingredients Desi Ghee + 3 tbsp gur
Prefer a richer choori? Increase the desi ghee slightly until you reach the texture and richness you enjoy. There is no strict formula. Traditional recipes are adjusted by taste, feel and family preference.
Why Desi Ghee Matters in Choori
In a recipe with only a few ingredients, the quality of each one matters. Desi ghee gives choori its richness, aroma and soft texture.
The secret is timing. Add the ghee while the roti is still piping hot so it melts naturally and spreads through the choori instead of sitting separately in the bowl. Every piece of roti ends up coated with ghee and gur, which gives that familiar traditional taste.
Serving Idea
Serve freshly prepared choori in a small traditional bowl and finish it with:
- A light sprinkle of cardamom
- Chopped almonds or pistachios
- A small spoonful of warm desi ghee on top for extra richness
Enjoy it warm with a cup of chai as a simple, comforting meal or treat.
دیسی گھی چوری بنانے کا طریقہ (اردو ترکیب)
افراد: 2 | تیاری کا وقت: 10 منٹ
اجزاء
- 2 تازہ گرم گندم کی روٹیاں
- 3 کھانے کے چمچ Amma’s Ingredients دیسی گھی
- 3 سے 4 کھانے کے چمچ کدوکش کیا ہوا گڑ، ذائقے کے مطابق
- ¼ چائے کا چمچ الائچی پاؤڈر (اختیاری)
- 1 کھانے کا چمچ کٹے ہوئے بادام یا پستے (اختیاری)
ترکیب
- تازہ روٹیاں بنائیں۔ دو تازہ گندم کی روٹیاں تیار کریں اور انہیں گرم رکھیں۔ روٹی کا گرم ہونا ضروری ہے کیونکہ اسی سے دیسی گھی یکساں طور پر پگھلتا ہے۔
- روٹی کو توڑیں۔ گرم روٹیوں کو ایک پیالے میں رکھ کر چھوٹے چھوٹے ٹکڑوں میں توڑ لیں۔
- دیسی گھی ڈالیں۔ روٹی گرم ہی ہو تو تقریباً تین کھانے کے چمچ دیسی گھی ڈال دیں۔ روٹی کی گرمی سے گھی آہستہ آہستہ پگھل کر ہر ٹکڑے پر لگ جائے گا۔
- گڑ شامل کریں۔ اپنی پسند کی مٹھاس کے مطابق 3 سے 4 کھانے کے چمچ کدوکش گڑ ڈالیں۔
- مسل کر مکس کریں۔ صاف ہاتھوں سے روٹی، گڑ اور گھی کو ہلکے ہاتھ سے مسل کر ملائیں، یہاں تک کہ نرم اور بھربھرا مکسچر بن جائے۔
- اختیاری ذائقہ۔ روایتی ذائقے کے لیے تھوڑی سی الائچی پاؤڈر ملا لیں۔ بادام یا پستے ڈالنے سے چوری کرارا اور مزیدار ہو جاتی ہے۔
- گرم گرم پیش کریں۔ چوری گرم، نرم اور خوشبودار حالت میں سب سے زیادہ مزیدار لگتی ہے۔ چائے کے ساتھ نوشِ جان کریں۔
تجویز: زیادہ بھرپور چوری کے لیے دیسی گھی کی مقدار تھوڑی بڑھا لیں۔

For two rotis, start with about 3 tablespoons of desi ghee and 3 tablespoons of gur. Add a little more ghee if you like a richer choori.
Why should the roti be hot when making choori?
Hot roti melts the desi ghee naturally, so it spreads evenly through every piece instead of pooling in the bowl.
