Take a medium sized carrot, peel of its skin, cut into small dices and cook in boiling water. This will help retain the orange colour. Put it in a mixer jar.
Make fine paste of carrot and keep it aside.
Put 100g wheat flour in a dough maker or wide bowl. Put the carrot paste into it.
Add a little salt, 1 tsp cooking oil and water. Knead to form the dough
Now the orange coloured dough is ready. You can use beetroot to prepare dough the same way. You get reddish pink dough by doing that.
Making Green colour Dough
Take 50g spinach, put it in mixer jar and make paste.
Again take 100g wheat flour in the dough maker. Add the spinach paste to it.
Add 50g chopped fenugreek leaves. You can paste this along with spinach also. But if you put without pasting then it will give good texture of leaves to the dough.
Add little salt, 1 tsp cooking oil and prepare dough the same way as you made orange coloured dough. Keep it aside.
Making white coloured dough
Take 100g wheat flour and to it add 2-3 tsp maida. Maida is added only to give whitish colour. You can avoid it too.
Add a little salt, 1 tsp cooking oil and add water and make the dough.
White coloured dough is also ready.
Making tri colour chapati
Keep the coloured dough aside for 15-20 minutes till they settle down.
Now take small part of each dough. Roll it to form thin strips as shown.
Weave it in the form of pigtail. This is a bit difficult part of the process. (Watch the video to get a better idea ). Then roll it together to form a cylinder.
Now cut small balls out of it with the help of a knife.
Dip the balls in wheat flour and roll it thin to form chapatis with a rolling pin.
Take a pan or tawa, apply little oil on it and spread.
Put the chapatis and flip it till it roasts on both side evenly. Apply oil on the top before flipping.
Tricolour chapati is ready. Eat it with curd, pickle or kurma.
Notes
Key points to remember:
Since we add vegetable to this dish it is more healthy compared to normal chapati.
You can add desired vegetables of your choice.
Weaving the dough in the form of pigtail requires lot of patience. Once you get it right then rest all things are easy.
