Missi Roti- Indian flat bread made with wheat flour,gram flour and spices
Missi roti and Khooba rotis are specialty of Rajasthan and also very popular in Punjab,U.P and all other North Indian states.Traditionally they are made on mitti ka chulha with coals or uplas,but for the authentic flavour can also be made in clay ovens/tandoors but as I don’t have the facility of both so I make it on gas stove.
Missi roti is best served with tempered green chilies Hari mirch ke tipore which is made with loads of fennel seeds in it ,it taste like pickle and have a good shelf life so a good recipe for travelling .
My favourite daal from Rajasthani cuisine is the very healthy Panchmel daal it is blend of five lentils and vegetables,addition of vegetables is optional but in my family we love to add vegetable to add nutrition and taste .
Other very popular curry to serve along is Gatta curry and tangy Raw mango chutney.So enjoy missi roti with these delicious Rajasthani delicacies

Notes
- You can add black gram flour/kala chaney ka besan instead of normal besan to make it more nutritious as kaley chane ka besan have more fibre in it.
- Can add chopped fresh methi instead of coriander in the dough.
- As gram flour is slightly heavy so don’t skip asafoetida and ajwain as they help to digest it.
- You can also add 1/2 cup wheat flour and 1/2 cup jawar (sorghum) flour.
