Chapati

Instructions

1. 1

   In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour and salt.

2. 2

   Gradually add water to the flour mixture, mixing with your hand or a spoon until a dough begins to form.

3. 3

   Add the vegetable oil and continue kneading the dough until it is smooth and elastic. This should take about 8-10 minutes.

4. 4

   Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for at least 30 minutes.

5. 5

   After resting, divide the dough into small, equal-sized balls.

6. 6

   On a lightly floured surface, roll each ball into a thin, round disc using a rolling pin.

7. 7

   Heat a skillet or tawa over medium-high heat.

8. 8

   Place a rolled-out chapati on the hot skillet and cook for about 30 seconds or until small bubbles start to form.

9. 9

   Flip the chapati and cook the other side for another 30 seconds.

10. 10

    Press the chapati gently with a cloth or spatula to help it puff up.

11. 11

    Once both sides have light brown spots, remove the chapati from the skillet.

12. 12

    Repeat the process with the remaining dough balls.

13. 13

    Serve the chapatis warm with your choice of curry or side dish.
