Apple Flaxmeal Chapathi | Roti Paratha Recipes

I had been thinking of using apple in my chapathi for a while now ever since I read it in a magazine. When I told this to my DH, he was dumbstruck (yeah, that is the word that best describes his reaction) and so I had not spoken about that to him. I used flaxmeal in my Blueberry scones and fell in love with it being healthy and rich in fiber. I made this chapathi for lunch the other day and my DH enjoyed it. Little did he know that it had apple in it and loved it totally. I did tell him later...




Ingredients:
Whole Wheat flour/Atta flour - 1 3/4 cups
Flax seed meal - 1/4 cup
Apple - 1 - peeled, seeded and chopped
Yogurt - 1 1/2 - 2 tbsp
Cumin powder -  a pinch - optional
Salt - a big pinch
Oil - 2 tsp + more to apply




Method:
Mix the wheat flour, flax seed meal and salt. Add oil and mix it to resemble a coarse crumble. Meanwhile puree the apple with yogurt and cumin powder (if using). Add the puree to the flour and knead to form a soft dough. Sprinkle water if needed. Apply a little oil over the dough and cover and rest for a minimum of 15 mins. Pinch a small golf-ball sized dough and roll out to thin chapathis. Heat a skillet and cook on both sides smearing oil. Serve hot with any curry of your choice. We enjoyed it with Turnip Chayote Curry.
