Pumpkin Roti

Enjoy your homemade pumpkin rotis! They’re a great way to incorporate more vegetables into your meals and add a unique flavor to a classic dish.

INGREDIENTS:

• Whole wheat flour: 2 cups (plus extra for dusting)
• Pumpkin puree: 1 cup (fresh or canned)
• Cumin powder: 1 teaspoon
• Red chilli powder: 1/2 teaspoon (optional)
• Salt: to taste
• Water: as needed (to knead the dough)
• Olive oil or ghee: for cooking

PREPARATION:

• Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine whole wheat flour, cumin powder, red chili powder (if using), and salt.
• Add Pumpkin Puree: Stir in the pumpkin puree. Mix it well with the flour using your hands or a spoon.
• Knead the Dough: Gradually add water as needed and knead to form a soft, pliable dough. The pumpkin puree already has moisture, so be careful not to add too much water.
• Rest the Dough: Cover the dough and let it rest for about 15-20 minutes. This allows the gluten in the flour to relax, making the chapatis softer.
• Roll and cook the rotis as usual.
• Serve hot.
