Besan Ki Masala Roti
Country: Gujarat, IndiaCourse: Bread
Makes: 8 pieces
For the roti:
- 1 cup chickpea flour (besan)
- 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
- 3/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup water
- 2 tbsp ghee
For the filling:
- 1 1/2 tsp cumin powder
- 1/2 tsp coriander powder
- 1/4 tsp turmeric powder
- 1 green chilli, chopped
- Salt to taste
- 1/2 tsp mango powder (amchur)
- 1/2 tsp red chilli powder

Directions:
- Make the filling by mixing all those ingredients together in a small bowl. Set aside. Now mix the roti ingredients and knead until you get a soft dough.
- Divide into eight portions and roll into balls. Flatten with a rolling pin or your hand and spread 1/8th of the filling onto the disk.
- Fold in half, then fold in half again, then roll until you have a sort-of triangle shape. Repeat with all the dough balls, using up the remaining filling.
- Heat some ghee in a pan and fry the roti on both sides until golden. Brush a little bit of melted ghee on both sides and then serve.
