Divide the dough into 4 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball and flatten into a thin round flatbread, about 1/4 inch thick.

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with olive oil. Cook each flatbread for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden and cooked through. Set aside.

In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat. Add the grated carrots, cumin powder, paprika, and ground coriander. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until the carrots are soft and fragrant.
- 5
Remove the carrot mixture from heat and transfer to a blender or food processor. Add lemon juice and optional yogurt for creaminess. Blend until smooth, seasoning with salt to taste.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I substitute millet flour with another type of flour?
A: Yes, you can substitute millet flour with other gluten-free flours like rice flour, chickpea flour, or a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend. However, the texture and flavor may vary slightly. If you're not gluten-free, you can also use whole wheat flour or all-purpose flour.
Q: Can I make the flatbreads ahead of time?
A: Yes, you can prepare the flatbreads up to 2 days in advance. Once cooked, let them cool completely and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Reheat on a skillet or in the oven for a few minutes before serving to restore their texture.
Q: What if my flatbread dough is too sticky or too dry?
A: If the dough feels too sticky, add a small amount of millet flour, a teaspoon at a time, until it becomes manageable. If it is too dry and crumbly, add a teaspoon of water or olive oil at a time until it comes together as a soft, pliable dough.
Q: Can I make the carrot spread without a blender or food processor?
A: Yes, if you don't have a blender or food processor, you can mash the cooked carrot mixture with a fork or potato masher. The texture will be chunkier, but it will still taste delicious. Alternatively, finely grate the carrots before cooking for a smoother spread.
Q: How can I store leftovers of the assembled flatbreads?
A: If you have leftovers of the assembled flatbreads, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 day. However, the arugula salad may wilt, so it’s best to store the components (flatbreads, carrot spread, and salad) separately and assemble them just before serving.
Q: Can I add protein to make this a more filling meal?
A: Absolutely! You can add cooked chickpeas, grilled chicken, or pan-fried tofu on top of the flatbreads for extra protein. You could also sprinkle some crumbled feta or goat cheese over the arugula salad for additional flavor and protein.
Q: What are some variations of the spiced carrot spread?
A: You can customize the carrot spread by adding a pinch of cinnamon for warmth, a teaspoon of harissa paste for heat, or a handful of roasted red peppers for a smoky flavor. If you like a nuttier taste, consider blending in a tablespoon of tahini or roasted nuts like almonds or walnuts.
