Time 40m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
1 ½ teaspoons ground cardamom
1 pinch salt
2 eggs
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon nigella seeds

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease one 11x13-inch rectangular baking dish.
  • Whisk flour, baking powder, cardamom, and salt together in a bowl.
  • Whisk eggs together in a small bowl. Discard 1/4 of the egg mixture. Combine remaining egg mixture, butter, and sugar in a large bowl; beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth, about 3 minutes. Fold the flour mixture into the egg mixture slowly. Beat briefly on low speed just until dough comes together.
  • Transfer dough to the baking dish. Dust your hands with flour and pat dough into an even layer about 3/4-inch thick. Prick dough in several places with a fork and sprinkle the nigella seeds evenly on top.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until lightly golden, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and run a knife around the edges to loosen it from the pan; cut roht into squares while still warm. Let cool.

ROTH PRASAD



Roth Prasad image

Prasad is a Hindu term for any offering (flowers, drinks, food etc) made to God. Roth is extremely popular here in South africa, especially for Lord Sri Hanuman. Here in SA, we like our Roth crisp on the outside and soft on the inside. Use only pure cows ghee, no substitiutes. Leftover ghee can be filtered and reused as the quality is not affected by heat.
