Besan Ki Roti (Gram Flour Flatbread)

Besan ki Roti OR Gram Flour Flatbread

"Besan ki Roti" is quick and easy Roti/Bread recipe, great for get-together or when you want to make something different to eat with curry. I have customized it by mixing gram flour(besan) with some whole wheat flour (atta) as this version is much more healthier and lighter on tummy. I'm serving it with a vegetarian curry however you can pair it with any meat dish or can even eat it with some flavored yogurt.

Serves: 4

Serving Suggestion: Serve Hot with any curry dish

Storage: The dough for this Roti/Bread can be stored in an air-tight container in fridge for 2-3days.
