Red Onion, Chile, and Gram Flour Bread

Ingredients

• 1 cup whole wheat flour
• 1 cup gram flour
• 1 red onion, finely diced
• 1 red chili pepper, seeded and finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro leaves
• 1 teaspoon cumin seed
• 1 teaspoon nigella seeds (black onion seeds)
• 1 1/4 cups lukewarm water
• salt
• sunflower oil or light olive oil, for brushing

Directions

1. 1

   Sift both of the flours into a large mixing bowl and add the onion, red chile, chopped cilantro, and cumin and onion seeds. Season and mix together.

2. 2

   Gradually pour in the water and knead for 2-3 minutes on a lightly floured surface, to make a soft dough.

3. 3

   Let rest for 5 minutes and then divide the dough into 8 pieces. Shape each one into a ball.

4. 4

   Roll the balls out on a lightly floured surface to a 5-inch diameter disc.

5. 5

   Heat a large, flat griddle pan or nonstick frying pan until it is hot.

6. 6

   Cook the rolled-out discs of dough, one at a time, for 30 seconds on one side; brush with a little oil, flip over, and cook for 1 minute, moving the bread around.

7. 7

   Then flip the dough over again to cook on the other side for 1 minute or until the bread is lightly browned on both sides.

8. 8

   Remove and keep warm, wrapped in aluminum foil while you cook the remainder. Serve warm.
