Ingredients

  • 2 cups flour Whole wheat, or Atta flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup water
  • 1 teaspoon oil

Method

  • Sift the flour and salt into a mixing bowl. Make a well in the center and add oil, mix well and gradually stir in the water.
  • Form a supple dough and knead for 7-10 minutes. Cover with plastic wrap and let sit for 15-20 minutes.
  • Divide the dough into 8-10 egual pieces. Roll out each piece to a circle on a well-floured surface.
  • Place a heavy frying pan (or a tava if you have one) over high heat. When steam rises, lower the heat to medium and add the chapati to the pan. When the chapati bubbles, turn it over. Press down with a flat spoon or clean dishtowel and turn again.
  • Remove from heat and keep warm on a piece of foil lined with kitchen paper while you cook the other chapatis.
