Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup Gram Flour besan
- ¾ cup All-Purpose Flour maida
- ¾ cup Wheat Flour atta, whole
- 1 ½ tsp Salt or to taste
- ½ tsp Carom Seeds ajwain
Wet Ingredients
- ½ cup Onion finely chopped
- 1 tsp Chili Pepper finely chopped, green
- ¼ cup Fenugreek Leaves chopped, fresh, methi
- 2-3 tbsp Clarified Butter for cooking, or cooking oil
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the chickpea flour, all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, salt, and carom seeds.
- Add the chopped onion, green chili, and fenugreek leaves to the dry ingredients.
- Gradually add warm water while mixing the ingredients to form a soft, pliable dough. Knead the dough for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Divide the dough into 4 equal portions. Roll each portion into a thin circle (approximately 6-7 inches in diameter) using a rolling pin. Lightly dust the surface with whole wheat flour to prevent sticking.
- Heat a non-stick griddle or tava over medium heat. Place a rolled roti on the hot tava.
- Cook for about 30-45 seconds per side, or until golden brown spots appear. Apply ghee or oil to both sides while cooking for added flavor and a softer texture. This helps create a crispy, flaky roti.
- Serve the Methi Missi Roti hot with butter, chutney, or your favorite curry.
Recipe Notes
Good To Know
- This is a kid-friendly after-school snack.
- For extra crunch and flavor, add a tablespoon of finely chopped roasted peanuts or sesame seeds to the dough.
- If fresh methi leaves are unavailable, substitute with 1-2 tablespoons of dried kasuri methi (soaked in warm water for 5 minutes).
- For a smoky flavor, roast each roti directly over an open flame after cooking on the tawa.
Expert Tips
- Serve Methi Missi Roti with a dollop of plain yogurt or raita for a refreshing contrast.
- Experiment with adding other spices to the dough, such as cumin seeds, carom seeds, or red chili flakes, for a unique flavor profile.
- For a softer roti, use slightly warmer water when kneading the dough.
Storage Instructions
- Store leftover rotis in an airtight container.
- Reheat on a tawa with a drizzle of ghee or cut into wedges and toast until crisp for a snack.
