Chapathi


Servings - 3
Ingredients 
  • 1 cup wheat flour
  • ¼ cup water
  • ¼ tsp oil
  • ¼ tsp salt
Directions
  • In large mixing bowl , stir the wheat flour and salt together. Add water slowly to make a soft dough but not sticky.
  • Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface until it is smooth. 
  • Cover it with plastic wrap , let it stand for an hour.
  • Shape dough into balls about the size of a lime
  • Roll out each one on a lightly floured board to a circular shape as thin like tortilla.   
  • After rolling out chapatis, heat a griddle plate or heavy-based frying pan until very hot, and cook the chapathi, starting with those that were rolled first.
  • Put chapati on griddle and leave for about 1 minute.
  • Turn and cook other side a further minute and apply oil with the pastry brush(pressing lightly around the edges of the chapati with a folded clean kitchen towel will make chapati soft)
  • As each one is cooked, cover them with clean kitchen towel
  • Serve immediately with dry curries or vegetable dishes or any non- veg dish.
