So this letter was really making me go crazy. It was really getting difficult to find a bread with X. There is no country too starting with X, so was not able to use that too. So I finally hopped on to Srivalli’s blog, who has designed this series of A-Z International flatbreads and she has already done International Flatbreads. So I simply shortlisted and followed her recipe. Reading the description on her blog, I saw that we can add vegetables like spring onion and mushrooms in this. So I modified her recipe and added some spring onions and some mashed paneer and palak mix (I was preparing another dish from this). The end result was a nice and a colorful stove top muffins or flatbread. I simply enjoyed this as is with a mix of tomato ketchup and red chilly sauce.

Ingredients

  • 1 Cup All Purpose Flour / Plain Flour / Maida
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
  • Salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon Sugar
  • 1/4-1/2 Cup Milk (at room temperature)
  • 1/4 Cup Spring Onions Chopped

Instructions

  • In a large bowl add the flour, sugar, salt and baking powder. Mix everything.
  • Add in the vegetables and give a quick mix. 
  • Add in the milk and make a semi soft dough. Remember that the vegetables will release some water, so do not make a very soft dough as it would be difficult to roll.
  • Cover and let it rest for 15-30 minutes.
  • After resting, roll it into a big circle or rectangle around 1 cm in thickness.
  • Using a cookie cutter cut roundels .

Lovely pick for letter X Renu, like your version of the savory Xaxaba Diphaphata. The name is quite a tongue twister.
