Possible Alterations for the recipe, ‘Spring Onion Roti / Tortilla with Scallions’:
Using Ginger-Garlic paste: Instead of fresh ginger-garlic, just use same quantity of ginger-garlic paste. Or else even powders also work.
Additional Ingredients: Soft butter (1 heaped teaspoon) or Cooking Oil (1 teaspoon) can be added while kneading the dough to make the roti/tortilla turn out soft.
Ingredients to skip: Amchur powder, fresh green chillies, fresh coriander leaves can be skipped in this recipe. I added them for giving the tangy and spicy taste to the roti/tortilla.
To add more flavour: You can add garam masala powder (1 teaspoon) for that strong Indian flavour.
Replacement to green chillies: Just skip them totally. Or else you can add red chilli flakes (¼ teaspoon) or Ground Black Pepper powder (½ teaspoon).
Whole Food Plant Based options: For wfpb no oil options, just eliminate the oil used to cook the roti/tortilla on stove top.
How to store ‘Spring Onions Roti / Tortilla with Green Onions’:
Option#1:
Cook the roti/tortilla(s) fully on the griddle. Cool them completely.
Put them in an air tight container. Store it in fridge, for up to 1 week to 10 days.
Just reheat on stove top pan / in the microwave for about 30 secs.
Option#2:
Alternatively, you can only half-cook the roti on the tawa. Let them cool completely.
Pile up one above another by placing a cling film to separate each other. Place the pile in a zip lock and put it in the freezer.
If frozen, they can last up to few months. Take them out of the freezer, just place one on a hot griddle.
Pan fry each side for approximately 30 seconds and you have them ready to serve.

Serving:
Tips
- Use both the green and white part of the spring onion / scallions. Finely chop them.
- Adjust the salt & spice as per your taste.
- While kneading the dough, add water only little by little. As the green onions also release water as you make the dough.
- I used my food processor for making the chapati / tortilla dough. If not you can do the same manually in a mixing bowl using your hands.
- Just before placing the rolled roti onto the hot tawa, dust away the flour applied on the roti.
- Always cook the roti on medium flame only, to avoid from burning the roti.
- Storage: These chapati / tortilla, stay good at room temperature up to 3 to 4 days. Just keep it in an air tight container.
- They can be made ahead and stored in freezer up to few months. Just reheat on stove top tawa/pan before serving.
Result:
