Dhapate is a traditional Maharashtrian recipe,made using 3 types of flour,it is made in Maharashtrian homes since several generations and instantly connects one to childhood memories.

This multigrain roti is made by mixing all the grain flour along with spices and vegetables.

Add a little water at a time and knead the dough like chapatti dough.Cover and let it rest for 10 mins.

Place a clean plastic sheet on a rolling board.Brush the sheet with little oil to avoid the dough from sticking.

Take a small ball of dough and make it even and smooth, place it over the plastic sheet.

Start patting gently to form a circle around 6″ in diameter,if the dough sticks to your hand grease your fingers with water or oil.

Heat up a griddle on medium heat.
Transfer the dhapata on the pan and make a small hole on the centre,brush oil on upper side and in the centre.
