Flaxseed Roti: An Easy Way to Use Ground Flax

Habbitree’s Flax Seed Powder page suggests adding it to atta. This is an idea, not a tested recipe, and the page gives no quantity, so treat these amounts as a starting point.

For about four rotis

• 1 cup (about 120 g) whole wheat atta
• 1 to 2 tablespoons flax seed powder
• A pinch of salt and water to knead

Method

1. Mix the flax powder into the atta with the salt.
2. Add water gradually and knead to a soft dough.
3. Rest the dough for a few minutes, then roll and cook as usual.

Start with the smaller amount and adjust. The powder is stone-ground and refrigeration is recommended after opening.
