Ingredients

• 3 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Active dry yeast
• 1 cup Warm water
• 1 teaspoon Sugar
• 1.5 teaspoons Salt
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 Onions, finely chopped
• 2 Green chilies, finely chopped (optional)
• 2 tablespoons Coriander leaves, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder (optional)
• 3 tablespoons Ghee or butter, for cooking

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, and active dry yeast. Stir gently, then let it sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add the yeast mixture and olive oil. Mix until a dough starts to form.

Step 3

Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until it is smooth and elastic.

Step 4

Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until it doubles in size.

Step 5

While the dough is rising, prepare the onion filling. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and sauté until soft and slightly golden. Add the green chilies, coriander leaves, ground cumin, and red chili powder (if using). Mix well, cook for another 2 minutes, then let the filling cool to room temperature.

Step 6

After the dough has risen, punch it down to release the air and divide it into 6 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball.

Step 7

Take one dough ball, flatten it slightly, and place 1-2 tablespoons of the onion filling in the center. Gather the edges of the dough and pinch them together to seal the filling inside. Gently flatten the stuffed dough ball with your hands or a rolling pin into a disc, about 1/4-inch thick. Repeat with the remaining dough balls and filling.

Step 8

Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place one stuffed flatbread on the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes until bubbles begin to appear. Flip it over, brush the top with ghee or butter, and cook for another 1-2 minutes. Flip it one more time, apply ghee or butter on the other side, and cook until both sides are golden brown.

Step 9

Remove the flatbread from the skillet and keep it warm in a clean towel. Repeat with the rest of the flatbreads.

Step 10

Serve the onion stuffed flatbreads warm with yogurt, pickles, or your favorite chutney.
