ABOUT Methi Missi Roti RECIPE

Ingredients Serving: 4

2 cups whole wheat flour
1/2 cup roasted chickpea flour / besan
salt to taste
1/2 tsp. turmeric powder
1/2 tsp. red chili flakes
1 tsp. carom seeds (ajwain)
1/2 tsp. cumin powder
1/2 tsp. coriander powder
1/4 tsp. asafoetida
1/4 tsp. baking soda
1 tbsp. oil to knead
2 cups chopped fenugreek leaves
1 onion, chopped
1-2 green chilies, chopped
2 tbsp. yoghurt
oil to shallow fry

Instructions

In a bowl take all the ingredients (except oil to shallow fry) and mix everything well. Add required quantity of water, little at a time and knead into a soft dough. Cover and keep aside for 30 minutes.
Divide the dough into equal portions (I could make 9 rotis out of it). Take each portion and roll out into a circle by dusting some flour.
Heat 1 tsp. oil in a tawa / gridde and shallow fry the chapattis one at a time till they are well fried on both sides. Brush some more oil if required.
Fry the remaining rotis in the similar way and serve them hot with either yoghurt, pickle or butter.
