Ajwain Coriander Chapati is a healthy and light variation from the regular parata and rotis. It is a comfort food after a heavy meal day. Ajwain is an ingredient which helps in digestion and make you feel light. I simply luved this chapati when i came through the recipe in this space. I liked this healthy twist. Here goes the recipe…

| Recipe type: Main Course | | Cuisine: Indian | | Yield / Serves: 8 |

Ingredients:
Whole Wheat Flour / Atta – 1 Cup
Water – 1/2 Cup or as required
Salt to taste
Coriander Leaves – 3 tablespoon chopped
Ajwain Seeds – 1 teaspoon
Oil – 1 tablespoon
Step by Step Photos on how to make :
- Add the Whole wheat flour in a wide bowl. Add in the required salt. Add in the ajwain seeds.
- Add in chopped coriander leaves. Mix them well. Add in the oil.
- Mix them dough well. Sprinkle water little by little and knead the flour into a smooth and non sticky dough. Keep it covered and leave it for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes make them into smaller balls of equal size.
- Take a ball in your palm and flattern it. Dip both sides of the flattened dough in dry flour.
- Grease the Chapathi chakla with little oil. Place the dusted chappati dough in the Chakla. Flatten them into thin chapati.
- Roll out all the chapatis. Arrange them. Heat an iron tawa. Grease it with little oil. Start toasting the chapati.
- Toast the Chapati on both sides.
- Tasty and Healthy Chapathis are now ready to serve.
Tips:
- The amount of water added while kneading the dough depends on the type of flour used. My Flour required flour:water in 2:1 consistency.
- Knead the dough into a soft and non sticky dough.
- If the dough is sticky add some dry flour and knead again.
- Leave the dough for 1 hour for softer chapatis.
- While flattening them make sure not to add more dry flour. The more dry flour added the drier the chapatis are.
- Grease the chakla with some oil before rolling the chapatis.
- While toasting the chapatis add in few drops of ghee. It is more flavourful.
Serving Suggestion:
Ajwain chapatis are served as main course dishes. They can be served with any gravy type side dishes. I have served it with Dum Aloo. Will share the recipe tomorrow.
Delicious and a different way of making chapatis 🙂
The scent of coriander is definitely killing me softly. Gorgeous chapati.
