Carrot Chapathi

Few days back,Aparna a regular reader of mine,who always sends encouraging emails asked me for some different kind of chapathi recipes.I should say I my self is a leaner when it comes to flat bread varieties and I took up this opportunity to explore more.I make chapathi at least thrice for dinner a week and I try to change the ingredients here and there to avoid boredom,also when you add some herbs or vegetables to dough itself preparation of side dish becomes very easy.You can make a special side dish if you feel like or just get away with making a simple raita.But the other day when I made this carrot chapathi,I also wanted to prepare a special side dish,so I made kadai paneer and onion raita.I should say it wa a very satisfying dinner.This carrot chapathi is really easy to make and it is for those who are not very comfortable with stuffed kind of parathas.Just try it and you will like it.Here you go with the recipe.
