I love flatbreads. Thankfully my daughter equally loves them. I usually make spicy rotis and have with raitha or just make plain rotis and a spicy curry to go with it.

Today, my Mum and I made spinach rotis for all of us and had it with raitha because it’s very hot outside.

Ingredients:

1. 1 cup of baby spinach
2. 2 cloves of garlic
3. A small piece of ginger
4. A green chilli
5. A small onion
6. 1 tsp Carom seeds, optional
7. 2 cups of whole wheat flour
8. Water to make dough
9. Butter or oil to shallow fry

Method:

Blend together spinach, garlic, ginger, onion, green chilli into a smooth paste.

Add this paste, carom seeds and some water to wheat flour to make a non-sticky pliable dough. Let it rest for 30 minutes.

Divide the dough into balls.

Using a rolling pin over floured surface, flatten the balls to make thin flatbreads. When serving for kids, you can use fun cookie cutters and make shapes too.

Shallow fry using butter or oil and serve hot.
