Ingredients

100 g buckwheat flour (kuttu)
1 boiled and mashed potato (optional for binding)
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp ground cumin (optional)
Warm water, depending on the consistency
Cooking oil

Preparation

1
In a bowl, mix the buckwheat flour, mashed potato, salt and ground cumin.
2
Gradually add lukewarm water to form a smooth, pliable dough. The dough should be soft enough to roll, but not too wet.
3
Divide the dough into small balls, then roll each ball into a flat disc 10 to 15 cm in diameter. You can use a little buckwheat flour to prevent the dough from sticking.
4
Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Place the roast in the pan and cook for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, until lightly browned and bubbles appear.
5
Brush with a little oil or ghee during baking to make the bread crispier.
6
Serve hot with curry, vegetables or plain yogurt.
