This traditional unleavened flatbread comes from the Punjab and like all Punjabi dishes it contains chilli.

Ingredients:

120g gram (chickpea) flour
120g wholemeal flour
1 fresh green chilli, finely chopped
1/2 onion, finely chopped
1 tbsp fresh coriander (cilantro) leaves, finely chopped
1/2 tsp ground turmeric
1/2 tsp sea salt
1 tbsp vegetable oil
140ml (about) lukewarm water
45ml ghee, melted and cooled

Method:

Combine the flours in a large mixing bowl then stir in the chilli, onion, coriander, turmeric and salt and vegetable oil. Stir all the ingredients together with a fork then form a well in the centre and add half the lukewarm water.

Stir to combine then add just enough of the remaining water to bring the ingredients together as a soft and pliable dough. Knead the dough until smooth, place in a greased bowl, cover with clingfilm (plastic wrap) and set aside to rest for 30 minutes.

Turn the dough onto a lightly-floured work surface and divide into four equal-sized pieces. Shape into balls then roll each one out into a thick round about 16cm in diameter.

Heat a griddle pan or heavy-based non-stick frying pan over medium heat for a few minutes. When hot brush both sides of a roti with melted ghee. Add it to the frying pan and cook for 1 minute per side.

When cooked, brush with melted ghee and set aside in a low oven to keep warm as you cook the remaining rotis.
