1. In a mixie, grind the cooked beans just for 2 seconds.
2. Transfer the beans to a big bowl, and add the flour to it.
3. Make a dough like for chapathi . Drizzle a little oil and keep aside for 1/2 hour.
4. Divide the dough into 4 equal balls and roll them into chapathis.
5. Heat a tawa and cook the chapathis.

Now, just wait and see how the kids are going to love this chapathi for their lunch.
As soon as you cook the chapathis, roll them in an aluminium foil .

It will stay soft until lunchtime at school.

You can send ketchup as a dip for these parathas or spread a little jam on the
parathas and then roll them individually.
