Healthy Flatbread Rotis

🚨 I have officially found my new roti alternative!! 🚨

Being Indian means growing up eating rotis (chapatis) almost every day. Although they are healthy, chapati flour is still a little higher in carbs and calories. ⠀

So I thought I'd try mixing it up a little by taking inspiration from a flatbread recipe and creating these wonderfully soft and chewy 'flatbread rotis' (as I want to call them)!⠀

As well as being only 80 calories each, the use of fat free greek yoghurt as the glue gives you that extra dose of protein, and the addition of parsley adds a hint of flavour (and colour!)

⠀

INGREDIENTS:⠀

• 1 cup wholemeal flour, plus 1 tbsp for dusting the surface

• 1 1/2 tsp baking powder

• 1/4 tsp salt

• 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley

• 3/4 cup fat-free Greek yogurt⠀

METHOD:⠀

1. Combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and parsley in a medium mixing bowl, then add 1/4 cup yogurt at a time, mixing until the dough is smooth (you'll need to use your hands for this).⠀

2. Wrap the dough in cling film and leave to rest for 30mins-1 hour.⠀

3. Divide the dough into six equal balls.⠀

4. Heat a large nonstick tawa (skillet) or a griddle over medium-high heat. Using a rolling pin, roll out each dough ball into a round "chapati" until it's about 6 inches in diameter (dust the dough and work surface with flour as needed).⠀

5. Transfer the chapati to the tawa (skillet) one piece at a time, cooking for 1-2 mins per side, flipping to the second side when you start to see the dough rise. You may need to flip it a couple of times to get the perfect rise without burning it. Repeat with the remaining dough balls. ⠀

6. Serve immediately or let cool, wrap in two layers of plastic and freeze for up to 3 months. ⠀
