Total Time: 45 mins Preparation Time: 30 mins Cook Time: 15 mins

Ingredients

• 1 cup chopped vegetables, such as onion,spinach,carrots,scallions
• 1 cup plain yogurt
• 2 cups whole wheat flour (+ â½ cup for dusting)
• 1/2 cup soy flour
• 1/2 cup gram flour (besan)
• 1/4 cup wheat germ
• 1/4 cup oat bran
• 1/2 teaspoon salt

Recipe

• 1 puree the vegetables and yogurt in a blender until smooth.
• 2 mix with all the flours and salt and knead the dough, adding water as needed, until it becomes smooth and supple.
• 3 cover with a kitchen towel and rest the dough for at least an hour in a warm place.
• 4 refrigerate for a couple of hours or overnight before using.
• 5 put a cookie sheet on top or middle shelf in the oven, preheat at broil.
• 6 (can also preheat the oven to 500°f.) divide the dough in about 12 pieces and make smooth balls, working between your palms, using flour as needed, and flatten into about 2" round patties.
• 7 make all the patties and cover with a towel.
• 8 dust a flat surface with little flour.
• 9 roll each patty into a round 5 to 6" across, about 1/8" thick.
• 10 note: roll 5 to 6'roti' and start baking.
• 11 with practice, you'll be able to roll the next batch of'roti' while the previous one is baking.
• 12 slide 4 to 6'roti' on the baking sheet in the pre-heated oven.
• 13 make sure that the oven stays hot; open the oven door a little if the oven turns off.
• 14 when light brown specks appear on the top (after 1 to 2 minutes), turn each roti to bake the other side.
• 15 it should become fluffy and crisp with light brown patches on both sides.
• 16 (do not over-brown because that makes the roti hard.) bake all roti this way.
• 17 spread little butter on one side of each'roti', if desired.
• 18 stack them and wrap in aluminum foil to keep them warm and soft.
• 19 serve warm.
