Instructions

Step 1: In a large bowl, combine 2 cups whole wheat flour, 1 cup finely chopped fenugreek leaves, 1 teaspoon cumin seeds, 1 teaspoon coriander powder, 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder, and 1 teaspoon salt. Gradually add 1/2 cup water while mixing until a soft dough forms. Cover and rest for 20 minutes.
Step 2: Divide dough into 12 equal portions. Roll each portion into a 6-inch circle, 1/4 inch thick, using a lightly floured surface. Place one rolled circle on a hot tava (griddle) preheated over medium heat.
Step 3: Cook for 2-3 minutes until small bubbles appear, then flip and cook another 2-3 minutes until golden spots appear. Brush with 1 tablespoon vegetable oil during cooking for extra crispness. Repeat with remaining dough.
