Ingredients
- 3 cups whole wheat flour
- Salt to taste (about 1 teaspoon)
- Warm water as required (about 1 ½ cups)
- Ghee (clarified butter; optional)
Make it step by step
- Knead together the flour and water, starting with only a slight dribble of water and adding more as you go until the dough becomes smooth but not too sticky.
- Cover dough, and let rest for at least 5 minutes.
- Divide dough into balls and roll out into disks, slightly thicker than denim material; sprinkle with flour as you roll.
- Place a non-oiled pan over moderately high heat and test its surface temperature by holding your hand over it.
- When very hot, put a chapati on the pan and press it flat with a spatula or dry cloth to make it rise up.
- Flip and repeat so it becomes lightly browned on both sides.
- If desired, brush with ghee.
