Low Carb Coconut Roti

EASY & SIMPLE

These flatbreads are the cozy, savory kind you’ll want to make on repeat. They’re super easy to throw together—just whole wheat or chickpea flour (go oat if you want it gluten-free), a bit of Greek yogurt for softness and protein, and some coconut for that rich, slightly sweet vibe.

Toss in chopped onion, green chili if you like a little heat, and some curry leaves or spinach to keep things fresh. A pinch of salt, a splash of warm water to bring it all together—and boom, you’ve got a dough that’s ready to roll and toast up in a pan.

Feel free to make it your own with extras like chili flakes, cumin seeds, or flaxseeds. Great for breakfast, lunch, or whenever you’re craving something warm and hearty without too much fuss.
