Flaxseed green roti is a tasty and healthy roti that can be served with raita or any curry/chutney. This is another way of adding flaxseeds to your diet. This is a very nutritious flat bread recipe prepared using flaxseed microgreens and wheat flour in less than 30 minutes. Wheat flour is a rich source of essential nutrients. Whether flax is ground, in seed form, or used as a microgreen, it’s a terrific addition to your meals. Full of vitamins, iron, potassium, essential amino acids, antioxidants, and protein, it’s no wonder why it’s such a popular food.
For people who watch weight this is one such recipe that is a must try. I prepare rotis often as they are simple, healthy and requires very minimal ingredients. You can cook this roti dry or even smear ghee or oil as desired. Adding cumin seeds and chilli flakes while preparing this dough enhances its taste. You can also add coriander leaves / cilantro while preparing the dough, if you want. But I have not added it.
