These simple flatbreads are usually made with wholemeal/wholewheat flour, but my mother used to use a multigrain flour for extra nutrition and would add carom seeds too. Carom seeds help reduce high cholesterol and aid digestion, but they are entirely optional here.
Ingredients
250 g 9 oz 2 cups
Method
