Celebrity chef Ranveer Brar remembers fondly his grandmother's wood-fired kitchen in Lucknow, where simple but soulful Punjabi preparation Roti Churi was his comfort food of childhood. Crushed with warm rotis with ghee and jaggery, this simple recipe reminds him of cooking with wood fires the traditional way and the warm hands that used to prepare it.
Brar keeps the dish as a testament to his grandmother's culinary heritage, paying homage to local ingredients like jaggery from the fields next door. Though he prepares it very rarely-believing it will never match his grandmother's-he provides a plain recipe for fans to make this homesick treat at home.
The blend of sweetness, butteriness, and tenderness captures the essence of family, tradition, and the playfulness of plain food made with love.
