Carrot - Scallion Roti

It is so boring to eat the plain rotis every time. Adding a little bit of something to the dough makes it interesting.

Ingredients

(Makes 4 medium rotis)

Wheat flour - 1 1/2 cups

Carrot - 2-3 tbsp (grated)

Scallions/Green onion - 2-3 tbsp (finely chopped)

Green chillies - 2 finely chopped

Oil

Salt

Steps

1. Prepare the dough by mixing the flour first with salt and a dash of oil and then water. Rest it for 15 minutes.

2. Divide the dough into equal sized portions and make small rounds. Take a round of roti dough and roll it out.

3. Sprinkle the grated carrot, scallions and green chillies. Roll it in and seal the edges.

4. Twist the roll of dough and dab with a little oil so that the dough does not break while pressing down. Now wrap it around itself into a flat circle and press down.

5. Dab some dry flour on it and once again roll it out into a roti.

6. Heat a pan and and cook the roti on both sides.

Serving ideas

Serve the rotis hot with a little butter on top along with any dal or curry. It also goes well with raita.
