TOMATO ROTI

This is a flat bread using wheat or whole wheat flour, flavored with ground coriander, chili powder, cilantro and of course fresh crushed tomato and tomato sauce.  Tomato Roti is a healthier alternative for wholesome and filling meal if taken along other side dishes containing veggies, lentils or meat.

There is another method to prepare this Tomato Roti by cooking the tomato and all the spice separately then added to dough.  Either way you choose, it is still turned out fabulous.

I didn't add any liquid to the dough since crushed tomato contains some juice but  if it is still crumbly add the water by a tablespoon at a time.

The dough is made up with a least oil and let  rest for 20 minutes. It is then rolled into flat round disc, fried on a griddle until brown spots appear on both side. From this basic dough, you can create a lot more variation of this healthy roti.
