Spiced Chickpea Flat Bread is always served in all Indian weddings to accompany curries. However, this bread has so much flavor, you will enjoy it alone or with just some melted butter or pickle on the side. Even though this flat bread is specialty of North Indian State - Punjab, it is popular all over the India.

This spiced bread is also high in fibre, best suitable to eat on its own on-the-go. Punjab is a farming state of India and this flat bread was traditionally prepared for farmers working in fields to keep them full longer.

If you ever wonder to start your day right , this bread is excellent choice for breakfast.

Whenever, I make this dough, I roll and freeze 4-5 breads (uncooked), then on any busy weekday, just take out 1-2 frozen breads, cook'em on flat skillet with little bit or no oil and eat , sipping a cup of hot coffee.

  1. Thank you for this recipe. I was able to make a gluten free version that was delicious! I used a costco blend of gluten free nut free flour and added ground flax seed to bind it. This will be something I make again.
    Hi Abby, I’m glad you made a gluten-free version of this recipe. That’s the joy of home cooking! Thanks for sharing your experience with us.
  2. how many calories is this per flatbread? Also is it possible to make with just chickpea flour? I am following diet where I am not able to have wheat flour.
    Rashila, I don't have calories handy. Without wheat version will be entirely different recipe. Can't make these wheat free as it will make bread difficult to bind.

  5. Q: Can I use yeast as well?
    Hi James, you can add yeast in this. Traditionally this bread has no yeast, but since it has regular flour and chickpea flour, I'm certain yeast will make it light, airy and fluffy. I would be really glad to know if you try it. thanks for asking question. I hope it helps.
