Amaranth Roti
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Dough
In a mixing bowl, combine amaranth flour, chopped onion, and salt.
Add water gradually and knead into a soft dough.
2. Rest the Dough
Cover and let the dough rest for 10 minutes.
3. Roll the Roti
Knead once more.
Flatten a portion of the dough using your palms, dust with amaranth flour, and gently roll it out.
4. Cook the Roti
Heat a tawa or non-stick pan. Cook the roti on both sides until lightly golden brown spots appear.
Apply ghee before serving for extra softness and flavor.
Special Comments
Amaranth roti is more than just a healthy option—it's a grounding, comforting food that pairs beautifully with yogurt, sabzi, or even a drizzle of jaggery syrup for a sweet touch.

Notes/ Precautions
Delicate Dough – Amaranth flour lacks gluten, making the dough slightly fragile. Handle gently while rolling.
Rolling Tip – You can roll between two sheets of parchment or plastic if needed.
Variations – Add fresh coriander, green chili, or grated carrot to the dough for an extra burst of flavor and nutrients.
Serving Suggestion – Best served hot with a dollop of ghee or butter on top.
