This bread is made from besan aka chickpea flour, and sooji aka semolina. (For gluten free options, feel free to add almond flour or oat flour instead of semolina). This bread is an excellent combination of veggies and spices. It's a really easy recipe, and you can use any of your favorite veggies. It is a well-balanced dish with protein, carbs, and fat.
