Ingredients
- 2 cups/240gms whole wheat flour. ½ cup for dusting and adjusting dough
- 1 cup fresh and washed fenugreek leaves
- 1 medium sized red onion
- ½ teaspoon celery seeds
- 2 inches ginger root
- ½ tablespoon salt
- 2 green chillies
- ½ cup water
- 1 tablespoon clarified butter for kneading (optional)
- 1 tablespoon clarified butter for the cooking
Instructions
- Combine flour, fenugreek leaves and other spices in a bowl.
- Add some water and knead for 1-2 minutes. It doesn't need much kneading. Add extra flour if the dough is too sticky.
- Dust bench top with flour, cut dough into 5 pieces, roll into balls, then roll out into large circles with medium thickness.
- Heat a pan and put the stove over medium or lower heat if your pan base is thin.
- Now, place one flatbread in the pan and cook it for 1-1.5 minutes. You will see some small bubbles on flatbread and then flip the bread and again cook it for 1-2 minutes. You will notice small brown spots on both the side of bread.
- Now, spread few drops of clarified butter on both the side of bread with the help of spoon or brush and cook it for 1 minute by flipping it both the side and then take it out from pan.
- Continue to cook remaining pieces.
Notes
1. You can use plain flour instead of whole wheat flour. But as it said this is healthy bread I will not recommend it for making bread.
2. You can skip taking clarified butter and cook it as normal bread. This can aid you to lose some pound followed on a healthy diet. It is rich in protein, calcium and vitamin C which are the great nutrients for a healthy diet. I prefer it to make without butter and eat with plain yogurt. You can sprinkle some salt and black pepper powder on yogurt. Believe me, it tastes awesome and diet conscious people will like the bread and yogurt combo.
3. Storing: Dough keeps in the refrigerator for around 4 days. Tip: Roll out the rounds, ready to cook. Just make sure you use baking paper or cling wrap to keep the pieces separated, flour will not suffice.
4. Dairy free: It will also work substituting the butter with olive oil or coconut oil and make it a dairy-free version.
