Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup chickpea flour
- 1 cup red lentil flour
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup carrot, grated
- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 2 tablespoons cilantro, chopped
- 1 unit green chili, finely chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons oil
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of chickpea flour and 1 cup of red lentil flour.
Add 1 cup of water gradually, stirring continuously, to make a smooth dough. It should be soft but not sticky. Adjust water quantity slightly if needed.
Add 1 cup of grated carrot, 1 teaspoon of cumin seeds, 2 tablespoons of chopped cilantro, 1 finely chopped green chili, and 0.5 teaspoon of salt into the dough.
Mix all ingredients thoroughly until well combined. Let the dough rest for about 10 minutes, allowing the flours to absorb the water and flavors.
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and roll them into balls.
On a floured surface, roll each ball into a thin circle, about 6 inches in diameter. Use additional flour for dusting if necessary to prevent sticking.
Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Drizzle a small amount of oil, about 1 teaspoon, on the pan and spread it evenly.
Place a rolled roti on the pan and cook for about 2 minutes or until small bubbles begin to appear on the surface.
Flip the roti and cook the other side for another 2 minutes or until it has golden-brown spots.
Repeat the rolling and cooking process for the remaining dough balls, adding oil as necessary.
Serve the soy-free legumes rotis warm with your favorite side dish or chutney.
