Roti is one dish which can be had everyday without getting bored,because of the many varieties that can be made with it.


Ingredients:
1.)Wheat flour - 3 cups
2.)methi/fenugreek leaves - 1 cup (I use everest kassori methi and soak it in hot water for some time before use.)
3.)Chili powder - 1 and 1/2 tsp
4.)Coriander powder - 1tsp
5.)Garam masala powder - 1 tsp
6.)onion - 1 medium
7.)oil - 1tbsp
8.)ginger garlic paste - 1/2 tsp
9.)cumin seeds - 1tsp
10.)salt
11.)sugar - pinch

Procedure:
Take oil in a pan, when it is hot add cumin seeds. When they start spluttering add onions and saute till they get translucent. At this stage add chili powder, coriander powder, garam masala and saute for a few mins(make sure the masala's do not burn). Then add ginger garlic paste and saute till the raw flavor leaves . Then add the methi leaves soaked in water, salt and sugar and mix well. Cook till methi is cooked well.Let is cool down.


Now mix dough and methi mixture into a soft dough. Now make into small balls and roll out into roti's with a rolling pin.Fry roti on tava/pan with with little oil/ghee .

This goes well with raitha, pickle, curd or curry.
