Pudina Roti

Another variation of roti using mint leaves.

Ingredients:
Wheat flour - 2 cups
Mint leaves - 1 cup
Ghee - 1 teaspoon
Salt as required

Method:
In a mixing bowl, add wheat flour, ghee, salt and mix them well.
Chop half cup of mint leaves and include this to the flour mix.
Again mix well.
Add required water and knead into a dough.
Cover and keep it aside for 20 minutes.
While the dough is cooling off, fry the other half of mint leaves till it becomes dry. (no moisture in leaves)
Cool and crush this and keep this aside.

Pick up key lime size dough and flatten it as thin as possible.

Fold it in a zig-zag fashion.


Pack into a strip.
Roll tightly into a spiral shape and seal the edge.

Again flatten into circle.
Sprinkle the crushed mint leaves over the roti.
Roll the rolling pin over roti a couple of times so that the crushed mint leaves stay together with roti.
Lay the roti on a hot tawa in a medium flame.
Cook both sides of roti.
Serve hot with any side-dish if desired.
