As a continuation to the previous posts in which a dietitian friend of mine has stressed on the need for protein and fiber in our diet, I am posting these Wheat Bran Rotis.
This recipe has been suggested by my friend, Pooja for people on a wheat based diet. Also this is diabetes friendly. Please note that the quantities mentioned in the recipe are for one person per meal.
I totally agree that to be able to eat the wheat bran needs some persistence and will power. But I am sure the health conscious folks out there would be willing to give it a try!! Personally I didn't find it so hard to eat these. I can't say that about the rest of my family!
This forms part of CCChallenge for the month of December, Week 1.
Ingredients -
Wheat Flour 2 Tbsp
Wheat Bran 2 Tbsp
Warm water as needed
*Note that there is no salt added to the dough
Method Of Preparation -
Mix the wheat flour and wheat bran along with warm water. Knead into a soft dough.
Cover and set aside for 5 min.
Heat the griddle/tawa.
Pinch the dough into 2 equal parts and roll each of them into a thin circle (roti).
Gently place the dough circle on the hot griddle.
After bubbles appear, flip it and after a few seconds, cook it on a flame directly or on a phulka griddle. This ensures that the roti puffs out resulting in a soft roti.
Cover in a paper lined box and make another roti.
Serve it with curry of your choice.
Preparation Time 15 min
Makes 2

Roti is unique and healthy as well, so what is this wheat bran, are they available in grocery stores?

Sounds like a healthy roti. I should tell my about this recipe, as it is diabetic friendly.
Very simple and healthy roti.
Healthy Roti's, nicely done :)
That packs a punch of protein. Does it stay soft for lunch boxes or is it better to consume hot off the stove?
wow I love the combo its noon here and I am super hungry looking at it.
i actually am used to eating wheat based products as my Mom always made things with wheat - as a nurse she was always health conscious so I am sure I would like the taste as I am used to it
Wow Harini love that plate..so neatly shot and healthy as well..I wish you will record more of these healthy dishes from your friend!
That is such a healthy & fiber rich roti.
I think you meant to say 2cups wheat flour & 2tbsp wheat bran. Right Harini??
@Pavani - I meant 2 Tbsp of wheat Flour and 2 Tbsp of wheat bran which will make 2 rotis for a single serving for one person.
