Besan Ki Masala Roti/ Gram Flour Roti with Spicy Masala Stuffing

Its longtime since i posted for Indian Cooking Challenge. Though for the last two challenges, i made the dish, i really didn’t had time to Click!!!! This Month’s Challenge Srivalli gave us two Delicious Roti’s to make, Sanjeev Kapoor’s Besan Ki Masala Roti and Tarla Dalal’s Bajra Aloo Roti. I made Besan Ki Masala Roti, for Last Friday’s Lunch, It tasted great, I served with a Saucy Aloo-Baigan(Potato-Brinjal) Gravy.

Though a bit heavy on the calorie-side with all those Tablespoons-full of Ghee, it is ok once in a while to indulge, thinking that those calories are divided among those roti’s and you get, how much you eat and now that is a bit tricky, isn’t!!!! 🙂

Ingredients

1 Cup Gram flour (besan)

1/2 Cup Whole wheat flour

2 tbsp Ghee/Clarified Butter

Salt to taste

The Masala

1 1/2 tsp Cumin powder

1/2 tsp Coriander powder

1/4 tsp Turmeric powder

1 Green chilli,chopped

Salt to taste

1/2 tsp Dry mango powder/Amchur Powder

1/2 tsp Red chilli powder

Method

Combine all the ingredients for the masala filling in a small bowl. Divide into eight portions and set aside.
Combine both the flours, salt and ghee in a bowl nd knead into a soft dough using water as required.

Divide the dough in eight portions and make balls. Roll out each ball into a four inch disc and place one portion of the masala filling on to it. Fold and Roll out again to make a triangular roti. Repeat the same with the remaining portions.
Heat a tawa and fry each roti with a little ghee on both sides till golden brown.
