Dill Roti - Indian flatbread with aroma of Dill

I love herbs and rare has been the case when I have made a visit to the market and not gotten myself minimum of two herbs. Something about them - the scent, the freshness or the taste - attracts me to them and I find myself looking for various permutations and combination to add them to my daily diet. I got myself some fresh looking Dill last week and for my usual dinner of Roti (which is Indian flat bread), I added the herb along with often forgotton spice - Dill seed.



Depending on your taste buds and preferences, add the herbs since many ppl find the herb little overpowering. I found 1 tbsp of the herb added only the slightest hint of its presence but enough to make a wonderful change and the dill seeds only help to compliment it. Its very simple and not at all time consuming.


    Ingredients

  • approx 2 cups whole wheat flour, plus some for dusting

  • approx 1 tbsp dill leaves, chopped ( as per taste, some ppl find it strong.)

  • 2 tsp dill seeds

  • salt to taste
