Ingredients

8-10 servings
  1. 3 cupsall-purpose flour (you can mix half all-purpose and half atta if you like)
  2. 1 tablespoonsugar
  3. 1 teaspoonsalt
  4. 1/4 cuppowdered milk (optional)
  5. 2 tablespoonsghee/cooking oil
  6. 1 cupwarm water (add as needed)

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    In a large bowl, mix flour, powdered milk, sugar and salt.

  2. 2

    Make a well and pour ghee or cooking oil and water bit by bit as you knead. Knead for atleast 5 mins or until your dough comes together.
    Continue kneading on your work surface for another 10 mins. You should knead your thoroughly to get soft chapatis.

  3. 3

    Your dough should finally be firm but soft and not sticky. Cover with a damp kitchen towel or cling film and let it rest for 1 hour.

  4. 4

    After 1 hour, divide the dough into 8-10 equal parts making ball shapes. Arrange them on a flat surface dusted with flour. Cover with a damp tablecloth to avoid drying.

  5. 5

    On your work surface, roll out the balls in a circular shape with a rolling pin one at a time. Brush with oil and sprinkle dry flour.

  6. 6

    Roll it inwards to form a rope-like a shape, then create a coil-like shape and press the ball down with your palm to make it flat.

  7. 7

    Repeat this process to the rest of the remaining balls of dough. Cover the dough and let it rest for 10-15 minutes.

  8. 8

    Roll the balls out again forming a circle.

  9. 9

    Preheat a non-stick pan or a heavy bottom skillet on medium heat. Place the chapati on the pan and leave it to cook.

    Brush the surface of the chapati with a very thin layer of oil. Once you begin to see bubbles rise on top of the chapati, flip it over to the other side and brush it also with a thin layer of oil.

  10. 10

    Continue to flip over about one or two more times until you achieve your desired brownness.

    Store in a casserole immediately. If you are planning on having them later, wrap them in a few tissues or aluminum foil.

  11. 11

    Serve warm with curry of your choice.

    Enjoy 🌹
