This is so easy to make…..and perfect curry for breakfast, lunch, or even dinner…….a completely vegan dish.

Dill Flat bread :
This herb is a rich source of calcium and Iron. This bread, also known as Dill Roti, is healthy to consume on a regular basis.
Ma kids hate for veggie but I has to do new creation to hve. & I love dill and hence I keep searching recipes for dill. While searching I stumbled upon this recipe. I made little variations and was totally happy with the results. Try this healthy.
Ingredients:
Whole Wheat Flour/ Multi Grain Flour- 1 cup+ extra for dusting
Dill leaves – A few Sprigs
Ghee – 1 tsp and more for frying
Salt- To taste
Method :
Wash the dill leaves and chop the leaves finely (the quantity of leaves to be added is left to one’s own choice. I add generous amount of it, as we like the strong flavor of it).
Add the chopped leaves to a bowl along with flour and salt. Add 3/4 tsp of oil and then mix them all. Now make a soft non-sticky dough, adding little water at a time. Apply few drops of oil on the surface of the dough and let the dough rest for 15-20 minutes, covered.
Divide the dough into 5 equal parts and make smooth balls.
Now dip one of the dough ball in flour and start rolling it into a circle, not too thick/ thin. meantime keep a pan or griddle.
When it is warm keep the flam low and fry on both sides, until golden brown spots appear. Spread few drops of ghee on chapathi, while frying & transfer in Plate Enjoy with any vege.
Enjoy with Vege !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
