Gur ki Roti/ Jaggery Flatbread Fireplace, Bonfire, Blankets, duvets, shawls, caps, gloves: All these things remind you of cozy cozy winters, don’t they?
Winters not only bring a change in our clothing but also bring a significant change in our food. During winters we prefer eating hot or warm food. Sardiyon ki meethi dhoop mein eating warm wintery food is total bliss!!
One such delicacy which is an absolute winter delight is Gur ki Roti.
These flatbreads or Rotis are made with Whole wheat flour. Jaggery water is used to bind the flour. Aromatic spices such as Cardamom and fennel are added to the dough to give extra flavors. Sesame seeds are optional, however I highly recommend them as they are a good source of calcium and vitamin E.
Jaggery is an excellent source of Iron, and is a very good natural blood purifier.
What else do you want from a Roti/ chapati when it is packed with all the minerals and vitamins?
Serve it with curd, butter or ghee.
