Ingredients

• Whole wheat flour - 200 grams
• Water - 100 ml (adjust as needed)
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Oil - 1 tablespoon (for dough)
• Carrot - 1 medium, grated
• Spinach - 50 grams, chopped
• Potato - 1 medium, boiled and mashed
• Onion - 1 small, finely chopped
• Cumin seeds - 1 teaspoon
• Turmeric powder - 1/2 teaspoon
• Garam masala - 1/2 teaspoon
• Green chili - 1, finely chopped (optional)
• Cilantro - 2 tablespoons, chopped
• Oil - for cooking

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour and salt. Gradually add water and knead to form a soft dough. Add 1 tablespoon of oil to the dough and knead again. Cover and let it rest for 15 minutes.
2. In a pan, heat a teaspoon of oil over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and let them sizzle. Then add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent.
3. Add the grated carrot, chopped spinach, mashed potato, turmeric powder, garam masala, and green chili (if using) to the pan. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender. Stir in the chopped cilantro and remove from heat. Allow to cool slightly.
4. Divide the dough into 4 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball and flatten it slightly.
5. Take one flattened dough ball and roll it out into a small circle on a floured surface. Place a portion of the vegetable filling in the center. Gather the edges of the dough over the filling and pinch to seal.
6. Roll the stuffed dough ball gently into a flat circle, being careful not to let the filling escape.
7. Heat a tava or skillet over medium heat. Cook the rolled roti for about 2-3 minutes on each side, brushing lightly with oil until golden brown and cooked through.
8. Repeat the process with the remaining dough and filling. Serve hot with chutney or vegan yogurt.
