Potato spinach chapati or roti…
Chapati or roti is a staple food in Indian cuisine. It’s basically a flatbread made with wheat flour. In North India, chapati is eaten literally every day, enjoyed with both non-veg & veg curries.
On days when I’ve to make my chapati tastes even more delicious, I add cooked potatoes & spinach while kneading the dough. It will turn into a flavorful chapati & can be enjoyed with raita & pickle.
