About Sweet split chickpea roti

Sweet Split Chickpea Roti is a popular Indian flatbread combining ground split chickpeas (chana dal) with jaggery for sweetness. Commonly prepared at home and consumed as a snack or breakfast item, it provides an interesting alternative to wheat rotis with a unique flavor profile.

This roti is notable for being rich in selenium and manganese, and a good source of copper, magnesium, dietary fiber, phosphorus, iron, and thiamine (vitamin B1), supporting nutritional variety in the diet. These nutrients are derived primarily from the split chickpea flour base.

It is vegetarian and typically made without egg or dairy, suitable for lacto-vegetarians but not vegans if ghee or butter is used in preparation. Its moderate sugar content comes from jaggery, making it a slightly sweet energy source.
