To prepare, gently heat the flatbread on a skillet or griddle over medium heat. You can add a small amount of ghee or oil to the pan for a richer flavor and to achieve a golden-brown crispness. Cook for a few minutes on each side until it is warmed through and slightly puffed. Alternatively, it can be briefly warmed in an oven or toaster oven. Avoid overcooking, which can make the bread dry. It is best served fresh off the heat.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to standard wheat-based flatbreads, this version incorporates the unique nutty flavor of pearl millet and the slightly bitter notes of fenugreek. The addition of garlic provides an aromatic depth not typically found in plain varieties. Its texture is generally denser and more robust than softer breads.
