Dal Roti
Dal roti is roti or chapati made by adding cooked dal or lentils to the wheat flour while kneading. My mom often experiments with various ingredients while kneading chapati dough including boiled and mashed potatoes, butter, ghee and pureed spinach, even cooked rice. However, this interesting idea was shared by my mother. She makes roti dough with cooked dal and other vegetables like spinach and tomato so that this is very healthy food for us. Mothers and their creativity!
