Ingredients
- 2 cups whole wheat flour
- 1 small onion, very finely chopped
- 1-2 green chiles, finely chopped
- 2 tbsp chopped cilantro
- 1 tsp cumin seeds
- 1/2 tsp carom seeds (ajwain)
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp ghee, plus more for cooking
- Water, as needed
Before you cook
- Finely chop the onion, green chiles, and cilantro.
Steps
- Combine the flour, onion, green chiles, cilantro, cumin seeds, carom seeds, and salt in a bowl.
- Rub 2 tablespoons of ghee into the flour mixture with your fingers.
- Add water a little at a time and bring the mixture into a stiff, firm dough, firmer than a normal roti dough.
- Knead the dough for 3 minutes until it holds together smoothly.
- Divide the dough into 4 equal balls.
- Flatten one ball between your palms and roll it into a thick disc, about 1/4 inch thick.
- Poke a few small holes across the surface with a fork.
- Heat a dry skillet or tawa over medium-low heat and lay the disc in it.
- Cook for 3 minutes, then flip and drizzle a little ghee over the cooked side.
- Flip again and drizzle ghee on the second side.
- Keep flipping and pressing gently with a spatula for 6 to 8 minutes total until both sides are deep golden and the inside is cooked through.
- Repeat with the remaining dough balls.
- Serve warm with yogurt, butter, or pickle.
