- SHARAN/Breads And Spreads/Indian Breads (rotis)/Vegetable Rotis
Vegetable Rotis
Make your everyday chapati/roti nutritious & soft by adding vegetables. This can be done with both millet and whole wheat rotis. Different coloured chapatis are fun for children and adults alike.
Ingredients
- 2 cups whole wheat flour or roasted millet flour of your choice + ¼ cup for dusting
- 2 cups of any one steamed vegetable of your choice – potato, sweet potato, carrots, spinach, fenugreek, beetroot, bottle gourd, radish – grated, blended or mashed (this should be hot or warm)
- ½ tsp unrefined salt (optional)
- Spices of your choice to taste (optional) – turmeric, chilli powder, ginger-chilli paste, garam masala are some examples
Method
- Combine whole wheat flour with the hot vegetable puree/grated vegetables, salt and spices. Keep aside until it is cool to the touch.
- Knead using your hands to form a soft dough (add water if needed). Keep aside, covered to rest for 10-15 minutes.
- Divide the dough into 12-14 portions. Roll each portion into a round disc (roti/chapati) of about 6″-7″ in diameter using dry flour to help.
- Place the roti on a hot iron griddle (tawa) and cook for a minute or two on each side until brown spots appear and is cooked through. Serve hot.
