1. If making the paste, use a food processor, electric spice mill or pestle and mortar to blend together the garlic, chilli, sesame seeds and ground spice to a thick paste. Work in the oil, then the coriander, to a spreading paste and season. Set aside.
2. Put the flours, 1 tsp salt and yeast into a large bowl and mix. Stir 120ml tepid water into the melted butter, then mix this into the flour, adding extra drops of tepid water until you have a smooth dough. Knead on a lightly floured surface for 5 mins, then return to the bowl, cover and leave in a warm place to rise until doubled in size. This should take 1 hr.
3. Divide the dough into 8 balls. Roll out each ball on a lightly floured surface to a rough 18cm circle the thickness of a 10p coin. Prick each one well with a fork to stop them rising. To cook on a barbecue: put the breads on the centre of the grill. Cook for a few mins, then turn and cook the other side. If using the paste, spread 1 tsp on one side as the breads come off the heat. Otherwise, brush the breads with more melted butter. Reheat the griddle between batches and stack them on top of each other to keep warm.

To griddle

Don't oil the pan. Put in 1 or 2 breads, side by side. After 3 or 4 mins, when the dough firms, turn and cook for 2 mins.

  Didn't need the yeast in this recipe just make the dough with 200ml of water let it rest for 20 minutes and it makes great flatbreads. The spicy paste works great. Kids enjoyed making them too

  The breads were ok with butter, but the ones I added the spicy paste to were awful - it just didn't work for us. I used fenugreek rather than coriander which is quite an acquired taste, perhaps I should have used coriander instead.

  These really aren't that much work and turn out brilliantly. I also got much cudos for making my own bread! Loved the spice paste but I think you'd need to make a lot to make it work in blender it just got stuck round the sides. I think I might invest in a spice grinder.

  I made these last night to go with the chicken biryani recipe. Wow...they were so easy to make and tasted delicious. I used wholemeal bread flour so didn't use yeast and they turned out great! Will be making them with the lamb koftas next!

  Made these on the BBQ two nights in a row as they were so delicious. Only problem was mixing spicey paste, definitely not enough quantity wise for food processor/blender.The second time I used a pestle and mortar and it worked even perfectly.

  Lovely! I used wholemeal bread flour and didn't bother with the yeast, added 1 tbsn olive oil to the mixture too and drizzled chili oil over the flatbreads before grilling. Very easy to make and will definitely make again.
