chia seed roti

Chia chapati is an Indian flatbread made with whole wheat flour and chia seeds. These whole grain chapatis are a healthy option to our daily menu.Note: 1 cup = 235 ml

Chia Chapati

flour

Tbsp. chia seeds

salt

water (start with 1 cup and adjust based on the flour)

olive oil

ghee, melted - optional

Medium sized bowl

Tea cloth

Rolling pin

Cast iron flat griddle

Flat flipper spatula

In a medium sized bowl, mix together 2 ½ cups whole wheat flour, 2 Tbsp. chia seeds, and ¼ tsp. salt. Knead this to a soft dough with hands by adding water little by little. When the dough stops sticking to your hands and to the bowl, you know that it is at the right consistency. This will take about 3 minutes

Using your hands, coat the dough with 1 Tbsp. olive oil

Cover the dough with a tea cloth or place a plate on the bowl and allow it to rest for 1 hour. Resting the dough will yield soft chapatis Chia needs more time to soften. So unlike regular rotis where ½ hour resting may be enough, you’ll need to double that time here

After the dough has rested, set a cast iron flat griddle on medium heat

Ensure you have a clean surface - approx. 15” x 15” in size - to roll the chapatis. Sprinkle that surface with a little dry flour and knead the dough for a minute. Then divide the dough into 8 equal parts and roll each one into the shape of a ball. Press each ball slightly between your palms to flatten it

Dust each flattened dough patty with dry flour and use a rolling pin to make a flat chapati roughly 10 inches in diameter

Place the rolled out chapati on the hot griddle and cook for half a minute. When tiny bubbles appear, flip the chapati with a flat flipper spatula or a metal tong. Flip back and cook on both sides until well doneAdjust the heat every few minutes to avoid burning the chapati

Remove the cooked chapati from the griddle and place it on the tea towel and repeat the process for the other dough patties. Coat the chapatis with a little melted ghee on both sides 

Enjoy your sublime chia chapatis with your favorite side dish or make a delicious wrap 😋
