Coriander always adds zing to any dish, with its peppy flavour and irresistible aroma. While you might have seen coriander and other herbs being added to the roti dough, here is an even more mouth-watering method of preparing hara dhania roti, with a stuffing of coriander and spice powders.

To make coriander roti, we first need to make the dough. Combine wheat flour, oil and salt in a deep bowl and knead into a soft dough using enough water. Keep aside. Then make the stuffing. For that combine coriander, coriander cumin seeds masala, turmeric powder, green chillies, besan and salt in a bowl and mix well. Finally roll and cook the roti. Divide the stuffing into 8 equal portions. Divide the dough into 8 equal portions. Roll a portion of the dough into a 150 mm. (6”) diameter circle using a little whole wheat flour for rolling. Brush little oil evenly over it. Sprinkle a portion of the stuffing evenly over it. Roll it up tightly from one end to another end. Roll it over again from one end to the other end to form a swiss roll and seal the open end tightly at the bottom in the centre. Turnover the swiss roll so that the sealed side faces upwards and again gently roll into a 150 mm. (6”) diameter circle using a little whole wheat flour for rolling. Heat a non-stick tava (griddle) and cook the roti, using a little oil, till golden brown spots appear on both the sides. Repeat steps 3 to 8 to make 7 more rotis. Serve immediately.

Besan helps to hold the stuffing together while green chillies add a dash of spice to it. Indeed, this Jain kothmir roti is a real delight to bite into! As a variation you can substitute coriander with finely chopped mint leaves.

Pair this tanatalizing coriander masala chapati with a bowl of curd or raita and serve as a satiating dinner. You might also like other roti and paratha recipes like Dhaniye Aur Makai ki Roti, Hare Mutter Ke Parathe, Lachha Paneer Paratha and Nariyal ki Meethi Roti.

Tips for coriander roti. 1. While rolling at step 5 and 6, ensure that you roll it tightly and secure the end at the bottom well, else the roti might open up while cooking. 2. This roti is best served immediately. If you wish to serve it later, cook it lightlyon both sides on a tava, cool it and store it. Just before serving, cook it with oil and serve. 3. Health conscious people can reduce the use of oil in dough to ½ tsp and use only ½ tsp of oil for brushing and cooking each roti.
