Add Colors in Your Roti
Spinach roti is not just healthy, it’s a vibrant and flavourful twist to your regular roti. The beautiful green colour and soft texture make it perfect to serve with any curry, chutney or even plain yogurt. To make it even healthier and tastier I added cottage cheese in it. It’s a perfect way to boost the protein and add extra nutrition to your meal without much effort.
You need The Perfect Dough To Make The Perfect Roti
Perfect roti starts with a good dough. I use whole wheat flour with Spinach puree. Use water if needed add water gradually little by little. Knead dough for 7-8 minutes. In the end add little oil and knead again. After few minutes dough will be soft and non sticky. Now you have a perfectly soft dough for making Spinach roti.
Find Right Balance of Heat and Time
Spinach Roti cam be cooked on any pan. But preferred pan is Tawa. It is made of thick iron. Due to thickness of pan heat distribute evenly.
I place the roti on the pan and wait about 20 seconds until small bubbles appear, then flip it. Once the other side develops light brown spots, I use tongs to place the roti directly on the flame. This is where the magic happens—it puffs up like a balloon! If you don’t have a gas stove, gently press the roti with a cloth while it’s still on the pan to help it puff up.
Why I like This Roti
It’s an easy and clever way to add more greens to your plate—whether for a daily meal, lunchbox or a special gathering. This roti brings both nutrition and colour to your table, making every bite feel fresh and fulfilling.
