Rich with the aroma of ghee, these Spinach Rotis are a thoughtful addition to any meal. The whole wheat dough is fortified with spinach puree, which adds to the nutrient content, flavour and visual appeal of the rotis.

It also makes the rotis a bit softer than usual and quite enjoyable. A dash of green chilli paste is added to the dough to spike up the taste a bit more. Remember to smear some ghee on the rotis after they are done, to boost the taste and texture.

Some people smear the ghee while the rotis are being cooked but that will not yield the right texture, so follow this recipe perfectly to get absolutely amazing Spinach Rotis.
