Like Roti Recipe
  1. Roti is a popular Indian flatbread eaten with subzi, curries and gravies for lunch or dinner. While mostly it is made with whole wheat flour and salt, you can use a number of flour and spices to make variation. Also, you can add in some chopped vegetables to give it a nice mouthfeel and flavour. The addition of paneer or oats also helps in making it more wholesome. Here are some popular healthy roti recipes from our website which are my all-time favourite:

Dough for paushtic roti
  1. To prepare the paushtic roti, peel and grate the potatoes. You can even use boiled grated potatoes to make the dough of paushtic roti. Moreover, you can skip this starchy vegetable and make use of any veggies of your choice like carrot, beetroot, french beans, radish, bottle gourd etc.
  2. Also, for a fibre-rich nutritious roti, we will be adding chopped spinach. You can add any leafy greens of your choice like fenugreek, coriander, spring onions.
  3. For the dough of paushtic roti, in a deep bowl take gehun ka atta.
  4. To this, add besan. Alternatively, you can even add jowar, bajra, nachni atta to fortify the paushtik roti dough.
  5. Add the grated potatoes.
  6. Finally, add chopped spinach and green chillies. Ensure that all the veggies are either finely chopped or finely grated so that you can easily roll the paushtic roti without breaking.
  7. Add curd or milk to bind together all the ingredients. It not only helps in making the paushtic roti soft but also increases the nutrient quotient with an addition of calcium. Also, you can use paneer whey to make this dough.
  8. Add oil.
  9. Combine all the ingredients with the help of your hands.
  10. Knead into a soft dough using approx. 6 tbsp warm water.

Besan, whole wheat flour, spinach and potatoe mixed together with some curds to add the sourness to form the dough for the roti. I removed the potatoes to maje it a healthy roti.
