Ingredients
Greens
- 1 cup Spinach chopped finely
- 1/2 cup Methi Leaves fenugreek, chopped finely
- 1/4 cup Mint Leaves chopped finely
- 1/4 cup Coriander chopped finely
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cup Whole Wheat Flour whole
- 1/4 tsp Coriander ground
- 1/4 tsp Cumin Seeds
- 1/4 tsp Dry Mango Powder dry mango powder
- 1/4 tsp Turmeric Powder
- 1 tsp Carom Seed carom seeds
- 1 1/2 tsp Salt or to taste
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, ground coriander, cumin seeds, amchur (dry mango powder), turmeric powder, ajwain (carom seeds), and salt.
- Add the chopped spinach, methi, mint, cilantro, green chilies, and grated ginger to the dry ingredients.
- Add 1 tablespoon of oil. This helps create softer rotis.
- Gradually add water while mixing the ingredients together to form a soft dough. Knead the dough for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Divide the dough into equal-sized balls.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll each dough ball into a thin, circular roti.
- Heat a griddle or flat pan over medium heat. Cook each roti for about 1-2 minutes per side, or until golden brown spots appear and the roti puffs up slightly.
- Apply ghee or oil to the cooked roti for added flavor and softness. Serve hot with your favorite accompaniments like pickle, yogurt, or any side dish.
Recipe Notes
Good To Know
- For extra crunch and nutrition, add finely chopped methi (fenugreek leaves) or grated carrot along with the palak to the dough.
- If you prefer softer rotis, brush each cooked roti lightly with ghee while still hot and cover them with a clean kitchen towel to keep them moist.
- To make these rotis vegan-friendly, simply skip the ghee and use a neutral oil or vegan butter for brushing.
Expert Tips
- For a vibrant green color, blanch the palak (spinach) briefly in boiling water before pureeing. This helps retain its color and prevents the rotis from turning brownish.
- Don't overknead the dough. Overkneading can result in tough rotis. Knead just until the dough comes together and is smooth.
- Use a cast-iron tawa or griddle for cooking the rotis for best results. The even heat distribution helps in puffing them up nicely.
Storage Instructions
- Leftover rotis can be cooled, wrapped in a clean cloth, and refrigerated in an airtight container.
- Reheat on a tawa with a sprinkle of water to revive softness before serving.
