Khura
Images on Rasoi Buddy are for illustrative purposes only and may not represent the exact appearance of the final dish.
Khura is a simple yet deeply satisfying buckwheat or rice-flour based crepe from the high-altitude villages of Odisha and the Himalayan foothills. It is traditionally prepared as a quick energy-boosting breakfast for farmers heading to the fields. The batter is kept minimal, often seasoned only with salt and local herbs to let the natural flavor of the grain shine. It has a rustic, slightly crispy exterior with a soft, comforting heart. Serve it hot with a dollop of fresh white butter or a fiery garlic chutney for a true mountain experience.
