Healthy Harvest Flatbread Grain-Free

No Grain Chapati (With Pulses and Seeds)

Ingredients:

  • 20g dhuli masoor dal (red Lentils) (washed and dried)
  • 20g dhuli moong dal (yellow Lentils) (washed and dried)
  • 10g pumpkin seeds (washed and dried)
  • 10g chia seeds (unwashed and dried)
  • 20g dry coconut powder (unwashed and dried)

Method of Preparation:

  1. Prepare the Flour:
    • Take all the ingredients as instructed.
    • Blend each ingredient separately into a fine powder using a grinder or food processor.
    • Mix all the powders together thoroughly to form a uniform flour.
  2. Prepare the Dough:
    • Add lukewarm water gradually to the flour and knead into a soft dough.
    • Let the dough rest for 1-2 hours to achieve the best consistency and texture.
  3. Make the Chapati:
    • Divide the dough into small portions and roll out each portion into a chapati using a rolling pin.
    • Since the dough may be slightly oily due to the seeds and coconut powder, use parchment paper or a dusting of dry flour (optional) for easy rolling.
  4. Cook the Chapati:
    • Heat a clay pot pan or cast-iron pan on medium heat.
    • Place the chapati on the pan and cook for 1-2 minutes on one side until light brown spots appear. Flip and cook the other side for another 1-2 minutes.
    • Repeat for the remaining dough.
  5. Serve:
    • Serve hot with your favorite curry, chutney, or yogurt for a wholesome meal.
