We all have a friend whose mom cooks amazing food. When I was a kid, one of my friend’s mothers made amazing Ghanaian roti, so this recipe is based on that. Mine is fried in ghee and made with flaxseed, a source of phytoestrogens that act like estrogen in the body. This recipe is perfect if you’re dealing with hormonal imbalances that can affect your skin. You can learn more about the many benefits of eating fresh, seasonal meals in my book, Eat Beautiful.
What are the nutritional benefits of flaxseed?
Flaxseed offers several health benefits due to its nutrient-rich ingredients. It is rich in protein, fiber, omega-3 fatty acids, thiamin, and copper, making it a nutritious addition to your diet. Flaxseed’s omega-3 fatty acids and lignans are also associated with a lower risk of breast, prostate, and colon cancer.

- Mix all the ingredients in a jug or bowl, pour half the batter into the pan and spread it with a spoon to cover the bottom of the pan.
- After 2-3 minutes, or when the dough looks fluffy and firm/almost cooked, flip it over with a spatula to sear the other side. (Please be patient as it will take some time. If you are concerned about the outside burning, lower the heat.) Transfer the roasted roti to a plate.
