Spinach Tortilla/Palak Roti (Chapathi)

 

This Tortilla/Roti is made with Spinach and wheat flour with few spices. This is very healthy roti with rich in iron and fiber.

 

Ingredients:

• 1 bunch Spinach
• 2 and 1/2cups Wheat flour
• 2 Green chilies
• 3 Garlic cloves
• 1 tsp. Coriander powder
• 1 tsp. Cumin powder
• ½ cup Curd/Plain Yogurt
• Required amount of Salt
• 1 tbsp. Flax seed meal (optional)
• 2 tbsp. Cooking Oil

Procedure:

• Wash and cut spinach.
• For avoiding raw smell of spinach, sauté spinach in a pan without water for 3-4 minutes, and let it completely cool down.
• Now grind sautéed spinach along with Coriander powder, cumin powder, green chilies, garlic, salt, flax seed meal and Yogurt; like a fine paste.
• Now knead like a chapathi dough with wheat flour, oil and the above prepared ground spinach gravy.   Please add warm water if required to form like a chapathi dough.

• Coat the dough with oil and rest it at least an hour.
• Now take a desired amount of dough and roll it like a chapathi and sauté both sides on a heated pan/tava  and apply little oil/ghee on both sides.
• Once Chapathi is sautéed on both sides then serve it with any spicy pickle or plain yogurt.

Note:   Flax seed meal is an optional ingredient.  When ever I make chapathi I usually add 1 tbsp. of flax seed meal.  Because it consists of Omega 3 and high in fiber.
