Ingredients

  • 1/2 Cup All purpose Flour/Maida/Plain Flour
  • 1/2 Cup Whole wheat flour
  • 1/2 tsp sugar
  • 1/2 tsp Active dry yeast
  • Salt to taste
  • 1/2-1 Cup Lukewarm water as required for the dough
  • 2-3 Cup Chopped herbs & vegetables of your choice (I used spring onions, Fenugreek (methi), mint, Kale, Spinach(Palak)
  • 1 tsp Olive oil
  • Black pepper crushed to taste
  • salt to taste
  • Oil or Butter for shallow frying
  • Extra flour for dusting and rolling

Instructions

  • In a large bowl add in the flour, sugar, dry yeast and salt. Mix everything.
  • Add in the water slowly and make a smooth dough. Let the dough rest for 1 to 1.5 hours.
  • In the meantime wash and chop all the vegetables finely.
  • Add in 1 tsp olive oil and black pepper to taste. Mix everything.
  • Just before making the flatbreads add salt to the greens, or else it will release water.
  • After 1 hour or so, knead the dough again for 2-3 minutes.
  • Divide the dough into equal size balls.
  • Roll each into cylindrical disc of 6-7 inches as thin as possible. Use dry flour if required.
  • Add in the herbs mixture on one half of the rolled flatbread. Spread it evenly leaving 1 cm edges from the sides.
  • Carefully put the other end on top of this and seal the edges.
  • Give a nice pat to the flatbread so that everything gets distributed evenly.
  • Heat a non stick or a cast iron griddle to medium or slow and cook the flatbread on both the sides until golden specs appear on both the side.
  • Repeat the above steps for remaining dough balls.
  • Serve it as is or with a sauce of your choice.
