Missi Roti
Description
Missi Roti is a hearty, flavorful Indian flatbread made from a blend of chickpea (besan) and whole wheat flours, seasoned with fragrant spices like cumin, ajwain (carom seeds), and a hint of fresh green chili and ginger. The dough—enriched with chopped cilantro, finely sliced onion, and a pinch of turmeric—yields rotis that are golden, slightly crisp on the outside, and soft within. Cooked on a hot griddle until speckled with charred spots, each roti offers a nutty depth from the chickpea flour and a gentle warmth from the spices. Serve Missi Roti hot with a dollop of ghee, cooling yogurt, or tangy pickles for a satisfying, wholesome meal.
