Materials Used.
1 cup grated coconut
1 onion, finely chopped
1 green chili, chopped
A few curry leaves, chopped
A little boiled and mashed pumpkin
1 teaspoon chili flakes
Salt, to taste
A little coconut oil
2 cups wheat flour
The cooking process as follows.
Now, let’s get ready to prepare the roti. First, take a mixing bowl and add the wheat flour, chopped green chili, chopped onion, chopped curry leaves, mashed pumpkin, chili flakes, and salt. Mix everything together and knead it into a soft dough. If needed, add a little water and a small amount of coconut oil to achieve the right consistency.
Next, divide the dough into small portions. Lightly grease a banana leaf or a piece of parchment (or another clean flat surface) with a little coconut oil. Place a dough ball on it and gently flatten it into a thin, round roti.
Next, place a roti pan (tawa) on the stove and allow it to heat. Lightly grease the pan with oil, then place each roti on it and cook both sides evenly until done, as shown below.
Pumpkin roti is a perfect example of how simple, fresh ingredients can be transformed into a wholesome and satisfying meal. Soft, flavorful, and nourishing, it pairs beautifully with coconut sambol, curry, butter, or even a drizzle of treacle. Enjoy this homemade pumpkin roti with your loved ones and experience the warmth, comfort, and goodness of traditional home-style cooking. 🎃🥙
