Ingredients with Measurements:
- 2 cups whole wheat flour
- 1 cup water
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup chopped spinach

- 1/2 teaspoon coriander powder
- 1/4 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1/4 teaspoon red chili powder
- Salt to taste
Special equipment needed:

Step-by-step instructions:
1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, salt, and olive oil. Slowly add water and knead the dough until it becomes smooth and elastic. Cover the dough and let it rest for 30 minutes.
2. In a pan, heat some oil and sauté the chopped spinach and sliced mushrooms until they are cooked. Add cumin powder, coriander powder, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt to taste. Mix well and set aside.
3. Divide the dough into equal portions and roll them out into thin circles.
4. Place a spoonful of the spinach and mushroom mixture in the center of each circle.
5. Fold the edges of the circle towards the center to cover the filling and roll it out again into a thin circle.
6. Heat a griddle or non-stick pan over medium heat. Place the rolled-out chapati on the pan and cook for 1-2 minutes on each side until it turns golden brown.
7. Repeat the process with the remaining dough and filling.
