Instructions

1. Step 1: In a large bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 tsp baking powder, 1 tsp ground cumin, 1/2 tsp ground coriander, and 1/2 tsp salt until evenly combined.
2. Step 2: Add 1 large grated carrot, 1/2 cup drained mashed canned chickpeas, 1/3 cup plain yogurt, 2 tbsp olive oil, and 2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro. Mix well.
3. Step 3: Gradually add water, about 1/4 cup, a tablespoon at a time, stirring until a soft dough forms that is slightly sticky but manageable.
4. Step 4: Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently for 2 minutes. Divide dough into 6 equal portions.
5. Step 5: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and brush with a little olive oil. Roll out one dough portion into an 8-inch circle and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden spots appear and flatbread is cooked through.
6. Step 6: Repeat with remaining portions, adding more oil to the pan as needed. Serve warm with yogurt or chutney.
