Description

Hari Roti is a delightful, nutrient-rich Indian flatbread that transforms humble whole wheat flour into a vibrant green delight. The secret lies in mashing boiled peas and folding them into the dough along with fresh mint or cilantro, creating a unique texture and herbal aroma. These rotis are soft yet sturdy, perfect for wrapping around curries, dals, or simple vegetable stir-fries. The addition of a squeeze of lime juice brightens the earthy flavor of the wheat, while a touch of ghee during cooking adds a rich, savory finish. This vegan-friendly bread is an excellent way to incorporate more vegetables into your meal. It pairs beautifully with spicy chutneys or creamy raita, making it a wholesome addition to any lunch or dinner table.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Mash the boiled peas until smooth but not pureed, retaining some texture.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, sift together the whole wheat flour and salt.
  3. Add the mashed peas, chopped mint or coriander leaves, lime juice, and pepper to the flour.
  4. Rub in 2 tablespoons of ghee or oil into the dry ingredients.
  5. Gradually add water as needed and knead the mixture into a soft, pliable dough.
  6. Cover the dough and let it rest for 10-15 minutes.
  7. Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and shape each into a smooth ball.
  8. On a lightly floured surface, roll each ball into a circle approximately 5 inches (12 cm) in diameter.
  9. Heat a griddle or tawa over medium-high heat.
  10. Place one roti on the hot griddle and cook for about 30 seconds until bubbles form.
  11. Flip the roti and spread a small amount of ghee or oil over the surface.
  12. Cook the other side for another 30-60 seconds until golden brown spots appear.
  13. Flip again if necessary to ensure even cooking, then remove from heat.
  14. Repeat with remaining dough balls and serve warm.
