Chickpea-Chile Flatbreads
- 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
- 1/2 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup besan (chickpea flour)
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 1/8 teaspoon garam masala
- 1 tablespoon melted unsalted butter
- 2 jalapenos, seeded and minced
- 1/2 cup minced red onion
- 1/2 cup chopped cilantro
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, plus more for frying
- In a bowl, whisk the flours with the salt and garam masala.
- Add the butter and rub the flours between your fingers until the mixture resembles fine cornmeal.
- Add the jalapenos, onion, cilantro, water and the 1 tablespoon of oil and mix with your hands to form a soft, slightly sticky dough; transfer to a clean bowl, cover with plastic wrap and let rest for 20 minutes.
- Break off a golf-ball-size piece of dough.
- On a lightly floured work surface, roll the dough into a tight ball, then flatten it into a 5-inch disk.
- Using a paring knife, make a cut from the center of the disk to the edge.
- Starting with one side of the slit, roll the dough onto itself to form a cone.
- Flatten it into a disk.
- On the lightly floured work surface, roll out the disk until 1/8 inch thick; transfer to a lightly floured baking sheet and cover with plastic wrap.
- Repeat with the remaining dough.
- Heat a griddle.
- Add the flatbreads in batches and cook over moderately high heat until bubbles form on the bottom, about 1 minute.
- Turn the flatbreads and cook until bubbles form again.
- Spoon a small amount of oil over the flatbreads.
- Using the back of a spoon, rub the oil into the flatbreads and cook, pressing, until evenly browned on the bottom, about 1 minute.
- Flip the flatbreads and repeat with more oil; serve hot.
