I was just thinking of a fun way to have food for kids. But I was only planning for chapati for dinner. Then got an idea and made it colorful and in different shapes too. This is a healthy than the regular chapatis and inviting too. My kid always refuses to take any side-dish and eats the chapati alone. For the colorful chapatis, I didn't have to worry abt making him have side dish as this had all vegetables in itself. After dinner I was proud of giving a nutrious meal. To make it more appealing I made different shapes using cookie cutter and my kid was the first to come to the dining table today.
Ingredients:
Chapati flour - 3 cups (have each 1 cup separately)
Boiled and ground carrot puree - 1 cupBoiled and ground peas puree - 1 cup
Boiled and ground beetroot puree - 1 cup
Salt
Oil
Water - if needed
Procedure:
1. Take 1 cup of flour and add salt as required and mix well. To this add the carrot puree little by little as needed and knead well to a soft dough. This is for orange chapatis
2. Take 1 cup of flour and add salt as required and mix well. To this add the peas puree little by little as needed and knead well to a soft dough. This is for green (slight) chapatis. For more green options try out spinach/ cilantro/mint leaves.
3. Take 1 cup of flour and add salt as required and mix well. To this add the beetroot puree little by little as needed and knead well to a soft dough. This is for red chapatis
4. Make balls of the dough and roll them as we do for regular chapatis. Then take cookie cutter and cut the rolled dough to make different shaped mini versions of colorful chapatis. You can also use any utensils cap/cups with sharp ends to get the shapes.
5. Heat tawa and place them in a batch. Add oil and flip over as we make regular chapatis.
6. Serve them hot. Healthy Colorful chapatis are ready for kids
