Flaxseed Missi Roti

Flaxseed Missi Roti..A variation of the North Indian Missi Roti..Missi Roti is one of the tasty and popular bread varieties of  the NorthIndian cuisine. I tried missi roti for the first time several months back, and that too with oats following the handbook recipe of Quaker Oats. Thatswhen I came to know about the missi roti name. It was too good even without much spices. So I thought why not to implement the same with flaxseed powder. Tried with my own choice of ingredients and measurements. I should really say, the taste was simply superb!! This is particularly useful when u don't want to make gravies or side dishes. Just make the roti, serve with some yogurt/pickle/butter, and your meal is ready!!

3. Now form round shaped falls from the dough. Roll the balls gently and carefully with a rolling pin to form roti shapes. Dust with flour whenever needed at this stage, to prevent sticking.

4. Place the roti in a hot tawa, apply oil on the roti after a few seconds. When one side is cooked, flip the roti, apply oil on the top, and cook till done on the other side. Transfer the roti to a plate. That's it!!

NOTE:

----------------

1. The proportion of wheat flour, bengal gram flour, flaxseed powder is purely on your choice. I chose in 1:1:1 ratio(excluding the wheat flour used for kneading and rolling).

2. The other supporting ingredients are chosen purely on your choice. You can add or less ingredients as per your wish. For an instance, you can also make changes in the masala, include ingredients like pomegranate seeds,  Kasuri methi, fresh methi, palak etc.

3. Cook the roti in medium flame so that no over or under cooking is done.
