Herb Roti

A savory, fragrant Herb Roti made with chickpea flour and whole wheat flour.
Course: Bread
Cuisine: Modern Indian
Diet: Vegan, Vegetarian
Servings: 12
Calories: 74kcal

Ingredients

  • 1 cup chickpea flour (besan)
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1 cup loosely packed herbs (I used thyme, mint and sage, but coriander, rosemary, chives, garlic greens would all be great in here, together, or by themselves). Chop the herbs really fine.
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne (use less or more based on tolerance to heat)
  • ½ teaspoon turmeric
  • 1 teaspoon garam masala

Instructions

  • Mix all the ingredients in a bowl and add enough water to make a smooth dough. Cover the dough and set aside for about half an hour.
  • Shape the dough into 12 smooth balls. One by one, roll them out, dusting the surface with enough flour, into circles around 6 inches in diameter.
  • Heat a cast-iron or nonstick griddle. Spritz with some oil spray and cook each roti on both sides until reddish-brown spots appear.
  • Serve with a subzi or chutney. Don't leave these rotis standing too long because the garbanzo bean flour in them will cause them to stiffen up.
