Puree the vegetables and yogurt in a blender until smooth. Mix with all the flours and salt and knead the dough, adding water as needed, until it becomes smooth and supple.

Cover with a kitchen towel and rest the dough for at least an hour in a warm place. Refrigerate for a couple of hours or overnight before using.

Put a cookie sheet on top or middle shelf in the oven, preheat at broil. (Can also preheat the oven to 500°F.) Divide the dough in about 12 pieces and make smooth balls, working between your palms, using flour as needed, and flatten into about 2" round patties.
- 4
Make all the patties and cover with a towel. Dust a flat surface with little flour. Roll each patty into a round 5 to 6" across, about 1/8" thick.

With practice, you'll be able to roll the next batch of'Roti' while the previous one is baking.
- 6
Slide 4 to 6'Roti' on the baking sheet in the pre-heated oven. Make sure that the oven stays hot; open the oven door a little if the oven turns off.
- 7
When light brown specks appear on the top (after 1 to 2 minutes), turn each Roti to bake the other side.
- 8
It should become fluffy and crisp with light brown patches on both sides. (Do not over-brown because that makes the Roti hard.) Bake all Roti this way.
- 9
Spread little butter on one side of each'Roti', if desired. Stack them and wrap in aluminum foil to keep them warm and soft. Serve warm.
