Ingredients

  • 400 gm frozen spinach thawed
  • 2 green chillies
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • 1 tsp cumin powder
  • 2 tbsp yogurt
  • Salt to taste
  • 3 cups wholewheat flour + more as required
  • 2 tbsp oil
  • Ghee to make the chapathis

Instructions

  • Thaw the frozen spinach and run through a colander to drain excess water.
  • Add the spinach, chillies, garlic, cumin, yogurt and salt along with the spinach in a blender and blend into a smooth paste.
  • Empty into a kneading bowl and adjust seasoning. Add the wholewheat flour by a cup and start mixing. You may not need all the flour, or you may use more, solely depending upon the amount of water in the paste.
  • Knead well into a non-sticky soft dough. Drizzle the oil and give it a final knead till the oil is soaked in. Allow to rest for around 30 minutes.
  • Divide into equal sized balls - makes around 15 to 18 - and roll them into flatbreads using flour.
  • Heat your pan and flip the chapathi on it. Brush a little ghee on top. Cook on one side, flip and brush some ghee there too. Flip and cook on both sides till done. This flatbread may necessarily not puff up.
  • Cook till all are done. Serve hot with curry of your choice or using as a roll for filling.
