Indian Flatbread With Tomato and Eggs
Tomato Roti is a delicious combination of flour with tomato, eggs and few spices. Sometimes plain roti can feel a little boring and that’s when a small experiment in the kitchen turns into something surprisingly delicious. This tomato roti is one of those happy experiments.
Idea for This Roti Came From My 5 Year Old Daughter
One day after I finished my shoot, Zoe asked me “Mumma can you make tomato roti next time?” I said yes and a few days later I gave it a try. My first version had coriander leaves, garlic, chilli, onion and an egg coating but it didn’t turn out well, the roti became hard and Zoe didn’t enjoy it. I tried another version but the chilli made it too spicy which wasn’t right for her either.
Since Zoe loves anything green I decided to keep it simple this time and topped the roti with fresh dill leaves. If you don’t have dill, you can use parsley, coriander or even skip it. The moment she took a bite, she asked “Mumma did you add tomato in this? I like it!” She happily finished the whole roti with roasted cauliflower one of her other favourites.
That’s how this recipe was created. If you want you can also blend other vegetables with tomato, just blanch them first and add to the mix for extra flavour. Roti is such an important part of our plate and with so many varieties to try, it never gets boring. Every experiment gives us one more reason to enjoy it!
Healthier Option Than Regular Roti
Tomatoes are rich in vitamin C, antioxidants and lycopene which support skin and heart health. Dill or parsley adds a dose of vitamin A, Iron and freshness. When combined with whole wheat flour, This roti also gives fiber and slow-release energy making it light yet filling. It’s a balanced choice for kids as well as adults especially when paired with a simple sabzi or yogurt on the side.
