Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Whole wheat flour
- 0.5 cup Chickpea flour (besan)
- 0.5 cup Lentil flour (red or green lentil flour)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 0.75 cup Warm water
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 cup Fresh spinach leaves, chopped
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, chickpea flour, lentil flour, salt, ground cumin, and ground coriander.
Mix the flours and spices together until well combined.
Gradually add the warm water to the flour mixture, mixing with your fingers or a wooden spoon until it forms a sticky dough.
Add the olive oil and chopped spinach to the dough, kneading until everything is well incorporated and the dough becomes smooth and elastic. This process should take about 5-7 minutes.
Cover the dough with a damp kitchen towel and let it rest for about 10 minutes to make it easier to roll out.
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and roll each into a ball.
Lightly flour a clean surface and roll each dough ball into a thin, round chapathi, approximately 6 inches in diameter.
Heat a non-stick skillet or tawa over medium-high heat.
Place a rolled chapathi on the hot skillet and cook until bubbles start to appear on the surface, about 30-45 seconds. Flip the chapathi and cook for another 30-45 seconds until light brown spots form.
Press the chapathi gently around the edges with a spatula to help it puff up. Remove from the skillet once cooked and keep warm in a clean towel.
Repeat the process for the remaining dough balls.
Serve the high protein chapathis warm with your favorite curry or yogurt dip.
