CHAPATI

Chapati 
Ingredients (6 servings)
1 cup of whole wheat flour
1 cup white flour
2 tbsp oil or ghee
3/4 - 1 cup of warm water
Salt to taste

procedure
  • Mix the flour in a bowl and add salt and oil. You can mix with clean hands, or use a mixer or food processor.
  • Add a little bit of water at a time and knead well for about 10 minutes until you have a stiff and smooth dough.
  • Cover the dough and let it stand for at least 30 minutes up to two hours.
  • Knead the dough well again and divide it into egg-sized balls.
  • Dust each ball with extra flour.
  • Flatten each ball and roll out thinly into sizeable circles.
  • Heat an ungreased, heavy skillet or griddle over a medium flame.
  • Lightly grease the pan and slowly heat the first chapatti.
  • Cook on one side for about 1 minute or until lightly brown, then flip and brown the other side.
  • Press the sides of the chapati with a spoon until it puffs.
  • Remove the chapati from the skillet into a warm dish or foil paper and wrap it to keep it warm.
  • Repeat this process for every chapati, wiping the pan with greased paper every time a new chapati is to be cooked. Serve the chapatis warm with a meat stew and/or cooked vegetables.
  • Chapatis can also be served with hot milk or chai.
Enjoy !!!
