1 teaspoon sugar
1 cup warm water (105-110°F)
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon turmeric powder
1 teaspoon coriander seeds, toasted and crushed

Instructions
PREPARE THE DOUGH:
1. In a small bowl, combine warm water (105-110°F), sugar, and yeast. Let stand 5-10 minutes until foamy and active.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, salt, turmeric, crushed coriander seeds, cumin seeds, chili powder, garam masala, nigella seeds, and fennel seeds.
3. Make a well in the center and add the activated yeast mixture, oil, and yogurt.
4. Mix until a shaggy dough forms, then turn onto a lightly floured surface.
5. Knead for 8-10 minutes until dough is smooth, elastic, and slightly tacky. The spices should be evenly distributed throughout.
FIRST RISE:
6. Place dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with damp tea towel.
7. Let rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
SHAPE AND COOK:
8. Punch down dough and divide into 6 equal portions.
9. Roll each portion into a thin oval or round, about 1/8-inch thick.
10. Let rest for 10 minutes covered with a tea towel.
11. Heat a cast iron skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Brush lightly with oil.
12. Cook each flatbread for 1-2 minutes per side until golden brown with dark spots and puffed in places.
13. Keep warm wrapped in a clean tea towel while cooking remaining breads.
TO SERVE:
14. Serve warm, torn into pieces, alongside curries or as a snack with chutneys.
