Ingredients

• 1 cup Whole wheat flour
• 0.5 cup Chickpea flour (besan)
• 0.5 cup Lentil flour (red or green lentil flour)
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground coriander
• 0.75 cup Warm water
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 0.5 cup Fresh spinach leaves, chopped

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, chickpea flour, lentil flour, salt, ground cumin, and ground coriander.

Step 2

Mix the flours and spices together until well combined.

Step 3

Gradually add the warm water to the flour mixture, mixing with your fingers or a wooden spoon until it forms a sticky dough.

Step 4

Add the olive oil and chopped spinach to the dough, kneading until everything is well incorporated and the dough becomes smooth and elastic. This process should take about 5-7 minutes.

Step 5

Cover the dough with a damp kitchen towel and let it rest for about 10 minutes to make it easier to roll out.

Step 6

Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and roll each into a ball.

Step 7

Lightly flour a clean surface and roll each dough ball into a thin, round chapathi, approximately 6 inches in diameter.

Step 8

Heat a non-stick skillet or tawa over medium-high heat.

Step 9

Place a rolled chapathi on the hot skillet and cook until bubbles start to appear on the surface, about 30-45 seconds. Flip the chapathi and cook for another 30-45 seconds until light brown spots form.

Step 10

Press the chapathi gently around the edges with a spatula to help it puff up. Remove from the skillet once cooked and keep warm in a clean towel.

Step 11

Repeat the process for the remaining dough balls.

Step 12

Serve the high protein chapathis warm with your favorite curry or yogurt dip.
