16 steps

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1/2 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup besan (chickpea flour)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon garam masala
  • 1 tablespoon melted unsalted butter
  • 2 jalapenos, seeded and minced
  • 1/2 cup minced red onion
  • 1/2 cup chopped cilantro
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, plus more for frying

Directions

  1. 1
    In a bowl, whisk the flours with the salt and garam masala.
  2. 2
    Add the butter and rub the flours between your fingers until the mixture resembles fine cornmeal.
  3. 3
    Add the jalapenos, onion, cilantro, water and the 1 tablespoon of oil and mix with your hands to form a soft, slightly sticky dough; transfer to a clean bowl, cover with plastic wrap and let rest for 20 minutes.
  4. 4
    Break off a golf-ball-size piece of dough.
  5. 5
    On a lightly floured work surface, roll the dough into a tight ball, then flatten it into a 5-inch disk.
  6. 6
    Using a paring knife, make a cut from the center of the disk to the edge.
  7. 7
    Starting with one side of the slit, roll the dough onto itself to form a cone.
  8. 8
    Flatten it into a disk.
  9. 9
    On the lightly floured work surface, roll out the disk until 1/8 inch thick; transfer to a lightly floured baking sheet and cover with plastic wrap.
  10. 10
    Repeat with the remaining dough.
  11. 11
    Heat a griddle.
  12. 12
    Add the flatbreads in batches and cook over moderately high heat until bubbles form on the bottom, about 1 minute.
  13. 13
    Turn the flatbreads and cook until bubbles form again.
  14. 14
    Spoon a small amount of oil over the flatbreads.
  15. 15
    Using the back of a spoon, rub the oil into the flatbreads and cook, pressing, until evenly browned on the bottom, about 1 minute.
  16. 16
    Flip the flatbreads and repeat with more oil; serve hot.
