Ingredients

• 2 cups Whole wheat flour
• 1 cup Fresh fenugreek leaves
• 0.5 cup Yogurt
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
• 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Garam masala
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Sesame seeds
• 1 tablespoon Ginger
• 1 item Green chili
• 0.25 cup Water
• 3 tablespoons Vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

Wash the fenugreek leaves thoroughly, chop them finely, and set aside.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour, ground cumin, ground coriander, red chili powder, turmeric powder, garam masala, salt, sesame seeds, chopped fenugreek leaves, grated ginger, and finely chopped green chili.

Step 3

Add yogurt to the mixture and knead into a soft dough. If the dough is dry, gradually add water, a little at a time, until a smooth and soft dough is formed.

Step 4

Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 10 minutes.

Step 5

Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and roll each portion into a ball.

Step 6

Lightly dust a rolling surface with flour. Take one dough ball and flatten it slightly with your fingers.

Step 7

Use a rolling pin to roll the dough into a thin circle, about 6 inches in diameter.

Step 8

Heat a non-stick skillet or tawa over medium heat. When hot, place the rolled flattened dough on the skillet.

Step 9

Cook for about 1-2 minutes until small bubbles appear. Flip and brush lightly with oil.

Step 10

Cook the other side till brown spots begin to appear, pressing down with a spatula.

Step 11

Repeat the process with the remaining dough balls.

Step 12

Serve hot with yogurt or pickle of your choice.
