Besan Ki Roti

Besan ki roti, also known as Missi roti is  a popular dish of Rajasthan. It's been a long time since I made besan ki roti and was really craving to have some. So, I decided to make it for breakfast today. It is quite healthy and tastes great. It can be made for kids lunchbox too.

Ingredients :- 

• 2 cups gram flour / besan
• 1 cup wheat flour
• 1 spring onion (finely chopped)
• 2 green chillies (finely chopped) - optional
• 2-3 tbsp olive oil
• ½ tsp crushed red chillies
• ½ tsp crushed coriander seeds
• ½ tsp cumin seeds
• salt to taste
• water (to knead dough)
• butter / ghee (to smear on cooked paratha)

Method:-

• Add the gram flour, wheat flour, crushed red chillies, crushed coriander seeds, cumin seeds, green chillies, spring onion and salt in a bowl. Mix well.
• Add olive oil and mix again. 
• Now, add water to make a stiff dough. (Be careful to add little water at a time and not use too much water otherwise the dough will become too sticky as gram flour absorbs water faster than wheat flour.)
• Make small balls of the dough and roll them into rotis sprinkling some flour in between if the roti sticks too much while rolling.
• Heat a tawa and fry the paratha's flipping on both sides till cooked.
• Smear with ghee / butter. 
• Serve hot with pickle or  chutney of your choice.

Notes:-

•  You may use a handful of finely chopped fenugreek leaves or onion instead of spring onions.
• If the dough gets too sticky. Mix a little wheat flour to make it smoot
• Always keep lefty-over besan rotis wrapped up in cling wrap as they become dry soon.  

Happy Cooking!!
