Fapar Ko Roti
Nepali buckwheat pancakes seasoned with cumin and cooked on a ghee-greased pan.
About Fapar Ko Roti
Fapar Ko Roti is a Nepali buckwheat pancake associated particularly with the Thakali community. This profile follows Junu's plain cumin-seasoned recipe rather than adding the vegetables, cheese or sweet flavourings found in separate versions.
Buckwheat gives the pancake its earthy, gently citrus-like grain flavour, lifted by warm cumin and salt. Ghee adds a rounded dairy richness and lightly toasted aroma where the batter meets the pan.
Each roti is a thin, rustic round with browned patches and slightly crisp edges. The centre remains soft, flexible and lightly fluffy, contrasting with the drier pan-seared surface.
