As the name suggests, these masala rotis are masaledar and delectably spicy! If you want them even spicier, you can add finely chopped green chillies.

Whole cumin seeds impart taste and crunch to the masala roti, and you can also add carom seeds (ajwain) or sesame seeds for more crunch and taste. Asafoetida, which is faintly noticeable in these masala theplas, is a digestive aid and helps prevent flatulence (gas) and hence used in daily cooking.

Whole wheat flour used in masala roti is excellent for diabetics as they will not shoot up your blood sugar levels as they are a low GI food. With only 60 calories for one masala roti, this is perfect for those with heart issues and weight loss.
