Author’s note on making Tricolour chapati:
Hello friends, Cooking nowadays has become integral part of my life. The more deeper you go more you learn. It is a never ending process with lot of combinations. Each time you end up with something new. Here is Tricolour chapati recipe which is one of those recipes which is not only colourful but also good for health.
Making tricolour chapati is a little lengthy process as you have to make 3 different colour dough and then recombine it and roll to make chapatis out of it. Initially I felt more difficult to make it. The toughest part of this process is weaving the dough in form of pigtail. It took me 4-5 trials to reach perfection. But as you know cooking good food is always full of challenges and everyone would look for something innovative. So this recipe is a perfect one for those who are looking for something colourful and new.
I have made tricolour chapati to look like our Indian National flag with Safforn, white and green colours. For that I have used carrots for orange colour, green leaves for green, and normal wheat dough with little maida for white colour. You can mix different vegetables for different colours.
