Colourful Rotis

Best to avoid adding salt or ghee or oil while mixing dough.

Beets Roti
(1 kg of beets can provide juice for 1.5 kgs of wheat flour)
● Cut or shred one medium sized beetroot into small pieces.
● Extract juice using a blender and filter it.
● Blend dough by adding only this juice to wheat flour.
● The dough should be a little harder than usual to make it easy to roll it out.
● Roll into small rotis and cook both sides without oil or ghee.

Greens Roti
● Take a bunch of greens like Palak and cut them into smaller pieces. (AVOID
mint, coriander and methi since they have a very strong smell/taste.)
● Extract juice by adding a little bit of water.
● The rest of the steps are the same as Beets Roti.

Banana Roti
(mainly. for kids since it is a Carb-Carb combination)
● Take one small ripe banana and mash it.
● Blend it with enough wheat dough by kneading it in.
● Roll into small rotis and cook both sides without oil /ghee.

Mixed Vegetable Roti● Prepare very fine shreds of mint, coriander, moringa leaf, carrots, radish,
cabbage.
● Add these vegetables to wheat flour.
● Add a pinch of hing and turmeric.
● Add water, knead dough, roll out and cook both sides without oil/ghee.

  1. Actually, I make green roti's with mint, coriander and methi as well. Wash them and pulse them in the mixie and the wetness is enough to make dough. And they taste super good. I just made some yesterday with mint and Nidhi today asked me for the same again (green chappati)
