• Garam masala
• 100 gms paneer
• 4 tomatoes
• 2 onions
• Ginger-garlic paste
• 1/2 cup Soya granules
• Salt to taste

Instructions

1. Cut the left over rotis into small squares.

Tips:

• Adjust the spices: You can tweak the spices according to your preference. For a milder version, skip the green chili or reduce the amount of red chili powder.
• Add vegetables: You can add finely chopped vegetables like spinach, grated carrots, or finely diced onions to the dough for extra flavor and nutrition.
• For extra softness: Adding a little yogurt to the dough helps make the roti softer. If you don’t have yogurt, a little milk can also work.
• Storage: Masala roti is best served hot, but you can store it in an airtight container for a day. Reheat them on a tawa or in the microwave before serving.

Serving Suggestions:

• Curries: Masala Roti pairs beautifully with rich curries like Paneer Butter Masala, Aloo Gobi, Chana Masala, or Baingan Bharta.
• Dal: It also goes well with dal tadka, moong dal, or toor dal for a wholesome meal.
• Raita: A side of raita (yogurt with cucumber, mint, or boondi) can balance the heat of the spices and complement the flavors of the roti.
