Gochini Atta Masala Roti

Gochini Atta Masala Roti

Haryana is the free flowing milk State which borders Delhi,the Capital city and state and is rich in farm produce as well as cattle which produce one of the best milk in the country!The State has various kinds of Roti – owing to the fact that there are severe winters where sitting in front of a coal fire will not suffice!The farmers eat a diet rich in wheat,lentils and meat like chicken and mutton(goat meat).Apart from that they have a plentiful supply of milk and yogurt which is used in items like Paneer,Lassi,Chaach(chaas) and Rabdi which is had with Jalebi or Malpua.

For the month of April,the group Shhhhh Secretly Cooking Challenge had a Haryanvi theme and I was paired with Kriti Singhal Agarwal who blogs at Krispy Kadhai.Here is the link to her lovely blog :

Kriti gave me Wheat flour and lentil while I gave her any milk product and Spinach.I researched a lot on Haryanvi food and through a good friend of mine came to know about this delicious product called Gochini Atta!This is made from a mixture of wheat flour and chickpea flour/gram flour which is powdered Chana Dal!This mixture is extremely nutritious and makes delicious Roti!

Gochini Atta Roti…

This is normally had with Sarson Ka Saag but as this is not the season for Mustard Greens,I made a combo of Spinach,Radish greens and Fenugreek Greens (Methi)!I also made the roti dough like a Paratha as I cooked it in a tsp of ghee.The recipe was a runaway hit and I got to add another recipe to my favourites!

Make the roti :

Divide the dough into 5 equal parts.Divide the filling likewise.Shape one portion of the dough like a cup and place one portion of the filling in it.Re roll into balls and roll into 4 inch roti with a light hand taking care that the filling does not come out.Place the roti on a hot tava and cook both sides.Now spread one side with 1 tsp ghee and flip it over for the ghee side to get roasted.Spread a tsp of ghee on the other side as well and cook the roti on both sides till well roasted with brown spots.

Prepare all the roti this way.
