  5. Reblogged this on Oil-Change Diet and commented:
    This should be a good low 6 recipe–I would add a little bit more milled flax, probably 1/2 cup.

  6. Hi chitra, love your healthy innovations, can the flaxseed be substituted with millet flour, and can yogurt be used as dipping for this bread. And how can I make my roti pliable and soft, because they sometimes turn out to be hard. Thanks
