-aata (which's often not 100% whole wheat, but sometimes is close to that)
-sambhar/daal/any thing liquid and spicy with a lentil in it
-salt to taste
-a little oil
This's my mom's invention, and we used to make it fairly often. Mix the above together to a consistency that lets you make balls and roll out rotis with it. Put on the stove, on a cast iron stone used for making rotis/paranthas, and cook for a few minutes on both sides. Use oil if needed, to make sure it doesn't burn.
The Pam cooking spray we used to use for this, I don't like anymore (it has wierd chemicals). Even the organic one has nitrous oxide. I think I'd like to find something that'd turn oil into a spray without using expeller chemicals. I mean, a mechanical solution. We found one at Pampered CHef, but it didn't work well at all and was hard to clean. I guess I could use a pastry brush, to brush oil on both sides - so I don't end up using too much oil.
I'd say this cooks 3 minutes on both sides. The wheat tastes raw if it's not well done. Enjoy with pickle and yoghurt!
Hey, Arundhati, would this be a quick breakfast solution as well? I know Punjabis eat paranthas for breakfast!
Oh, and I just thought of something. You could probably use "besan" (ground chik peas flous) instead of wheat flour, as well.
