Afghani Fateer Pyazi

I was thinking of making this awesome Afghani bread since long, but somehow it still remained in the to do list so far. Today was a snowy and gloomy Sunday and to cheer up and lighten up the spirits, I decided to make this. But, as hubby dear was also home and he likes to have soups for lunch, I also made a hot bowl of Tomato soup for him. This way, both of us were happy! Needless to say that he loved this flaky and crispy Afghani Fateer Pyazi with dollop of butter and Cranberry Relish.

Traditionally, this very famous bread is made in tandoor or oven. Also. it is made with Maida and yeast and I did not use both of these. Still, the outcome was awesome and it will be made often in our household. This tawa grilled bread is worth trying guys!

 

Ingredients:

1. Wholewheat flour-3 cups.
2. Red Onion-1 medium

6. Salt
7. Red chilli powder-1 tsp.

Procedure:

• Knead a normal dough as you do for chapatis.
• Thinly  slice onions, green chilies and add salt and all the spices mentioned above.
• Also add crumbled or grated paneer if you are using and set aside for 15 minutes, salt will soften the onions.
• Take a fat ball of dough (almost 2 roti size) and roll out.
