MASALA CHAPATI

 Masala chapati is spicy and yummy and you can prepare it quickly, easily and have them with curd or even pickle and ghee or butter.

I have used wheat flour, some jeera and chilly powder with little salt. It came out nice and definitely you can try and enjoy this roti. I have used little oil on the top to cook. You can avoid using oil if you are following diet. But I feel eating very little oil is really good for health. (Not poured out).
Wheat flour always helps you to stay for long. It is filling and digest slowly. It keeps you strong. Though wheat is the main grain of Punjabis, chapatis have become world popular.
Let us see the recipe now.
No Onion or No Garlic is added in this roti. It is simple, easy and quick.

( Boil palak leaves for 2 to 3 minutes and grind them in to paste). You can also fry cutlet instead of shallow fry. You can add garam masala powder to make it more spicy.If the dough looks more liquid add one or two slices of bread so that the dough thickens and it will be easy to prepare cutlets.
