Vegetable Rotis

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

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.

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.
