Chickpea Greens Flatbread
Ingredients

• 1 cup fresh chickpea greens
• 1cup wheat flour
• 1/2 cup bajra flour
• 1 tsp coriander-cumin seeds powder
• salt to taste
• 1/2 tsp turmeric powder
• 1 tsp ginger-garlic-green chili paste
• 1/2 tsp paprika or mild chili powder
• 1/4 tsp asafoetida
• 1/8 tsp owa/ajmo/carrom seeds
• 1 tsp oil
• flour for dredging
• oil for roasting/frying

Method
1. Rinse chickpea greens. Let them dry. Take off the tiny leaves. Set aside. I do not chop them as they are quite tiny & tender.
2. Mix all the dry ingredients. Stir in chickpea leaves. Using water as needed, knead the dough. Add 1 tsp oil. Knead again. Cover and set aside for 30 minutes.
3. Make 9 uniform balls. Roll into thin flatbreads.
4. Roast on a hot tawa or griddle till brown spots appear on both sides.
5. Store in a container covered with a clean kitchen napkin till ready to use.

Note -
1. You can chop the leaves if you like.
