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.
