Cuisine: Pakistani

Ingredients

  • 2 cups gram flour
  • 1 cup wheat flour
  • 1 small onion finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ¾ teaspoon red chili powder
  • ½ teaspoon cumin powder
  • ½ teaspoon cumin seeds
  • 4 tablespoon fresh coriander leaves chopped
  • 1-2 green chilies chopped
  • water for kneading
  • ghee/oil for frying

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Knead all the ingredients together with the help of water. The dough shouldn't be too soft or wet. Pat with some oil at the end so the dough does not stick. Let it rest for 15-20 mins.
  2. Make large lemon sized balls out of the dough and keep aside.
  3. Dust some wheat flour on your working surface and roll out the balls into a circle. If the roti sticks dust some more flour on top.
  4. Heat a flat pan and on medium heat place your roti on it. Flip when slightly cooked from one side and add around 2-3 tablespoons of ghee or vegetable oil. Cook both sides till golden-brown.
  5. Enjoy with garlic chutney!

Notes

  • If your dough gets too soft you can add more wheat flour to it and adjust the seasonings accordingly.
