- 50 grams boiled spinach
- 50 grams chopped methi leaves

2. Now add all the vegetables like carrot, radish, onion, green chilies, coriander, methi leaves, and boiled spinach one by one and knead it into a dough.
3. Now make a dough ball and with your hand, make the roti.
Tip: makki ka atta is a little sticky, so you can avoid using a rolling pin and instead use your hands. Grease your hands a little, before making the chapati.

5. Now grease the chapati on one side with coconut oil, and flip it.
6. Cook the makki ka paratha properly on both sides. Serve it with some green chutney or a hint of ghee.
Simple, healthy, and totally filling.

1. It’s gluten-free, so it’s an amazing alternative for wheat, etc if you are trying to lose weight or have diabetes.
2. Makki ka atta is loaded with fibre and that is why it is lighter on your gut and intestine.
3. For those who work out regularly, it’s a perfect post-workout meal as it is packed with proteins.
4. The presence of vitamin B and other antioxidants makes it must-have for luscious hair, glowing skin, and an active brain.
5. Those who have thyroid problems or low immunity must have maize flour. The presence of vitamin A, C, K, beta-carotene, and selenium helps in improving the function of the gland plus boosts immunity.
6. Lastly, it’s not at all expensive and easily available.
So without a doubt, makki ka atta is the right choice baby!
