Homemade Chapati {Indian flat-bread}

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups of durum whole wheat flour (atta)
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp ghee, melted
  • scant 1 cup of luke warm water

Directions:

  1. Add everything except for water, in a large non-reactive bowl. Mix well.
  2. Gradually drizzle in warm water to the mix until it binds into a soft dough. Knead for 5 minutes and allow dough to rest for 15 minutes, covered with a kitchen towel.
  3. Heat a flat iron skillet on medium-high.
  4. Divide dough into equal portions. Roll between palms and apply gentle pressure till the dough balls are smoothly rounded. Make as many to keep ready for rolling out.
  5. Flour surface and rolling pin. Flour the dough ball as well.
  6. Roll dough ball into 6 inch circles or as thin as possible without tearing. If the dough begins sticking on surface and rolling pin, lightly dust with some whole wheat flour on both sides.
  7. Place rolled out chapati on hot skillet for a few seconds before flipping over. At this point, some brown spots would begin appearing. Using a spatula, lightly apply pressure to the puffed areas all around.
  8. Flip again and lightly apple pressure making sure chapati is cooked on both sides.
  9. Remove cooked chapatis, spread a thin layer of ghee. Keep it covered to retain softness, while making the rest.
  10. Serve hot with preferred sides.
