Makes 1 serving - uses 4 oz of your daily vegetable allowance
Ingredients
1/4 cup water chestnut flour (also known as Singoda flour)
you may purchase in an Indian market or online
6 tsp water
1 scallion, finely chopped
salt, to taste
any seasonings you like, to taste
we used pepper and crushed red pepper
PAM or other zero-calorie cooking spray
Directions
in a big bowl, mix water chestnut flour, most of the scallion and seasonings
slowly mix in the water until you have dough
note, it starts out dry and mealy and softens as you work with it
slightly wet your hands
using your hands, roll dough into a ball
lightly coat dough ball with some water chestnut flour
place dough ball in the center of two pieces of saran wrap or centered inside a large plastic sandwich bag
flatten dough into a thin flatbread
spray pan with PAM and heat to medium-high
gently remove flatbread from plastic wrap and place in pan
cook each side for a few minutes until golden brown
garnish with remaining scallion
enjoy!
note, you may add different chopped vegetables and seasonings to the dough to make different flatbreads - adjust allowance for added vegetables.
To clarify - it is WATER chestnut flour - NOT chestnut flour (big difference). Water chestnut flour is made of one ingredient - water chestnuts (which are legal to use on program). 1/4 cup flour = 4 oz of vegetable day allowance. The flour itself is very bland so a lot of seasoning is needed to make it tasty.
