Cooking Instructions
- 1
In a bowl, pour your flour add salt and mix well, then add the oil/fat and give it a good mix till its crumbly/soft. Oil has to mix well with the flour. No lumps.
- 2
Start adding the water by pouring half a cup to mix the flour, keep adding the water as you knead till you form a soft pliable dough about 10 mins of kneading - dont be in a rush.
- 3
Cut 4-5 balls then roll each into a circle and smear your oil/fat all over it.
- 4
Split the circle into two and and roll each separate to form chapati balls aka "tabakis" :-) do the same with all the balls and set aside for about 30mins.
- 5
Heat your pan/ skillet/ tawa - start rolling out your chapatis from the tabakis and put them on the pan let it cook on one side then flip to the other side, apply oil on the cooked side and turn so you cook on the other side. Repeat for all.

Flat Indian Bread: Chapati Flat Indian Bread: Chapati
At first I could only make tough, not very good chapatis. But by adding more water, kneading the dough well, and letting it rest, I was able to make tender and delicious ones.The amount of water indicated is a guideline only. Please adjust the amount depending on the dough. If the dough is too hard, the chapatis will be hard and dry and not very good. Even if the dough seems too soft, it will improve after resting it, so don't worry. Recipe by hinata cookpad.japan -
