Ingredients

  1. 3 cupswheat flour, All Purpose Flour (not self rising)
  2. Cooking  vegetable oil
  3. Cooking Salt
  4. Rolling stick and bowl

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Step 1. In a bowl, measure three cups of flour (cooking chapatti for two people)

  2. 2

    Step 2. In another bowl, mix salt (to taste), 2 tbps of oil and 1 cup of water. Stir until the salt dissolves

  3. 3

    Step 3. Pour the liquid mixture above (step 2) in the flour bowl and mix well. Keep adding the remaining water until the dough becomes soft.

  4. 4

    Step 4. Knead the dough for five minutes and add flour if needed.

  5. 5

    Step 5. Keep kneading and adding flour to the dough when needed for 5-10minutes. Add more flour to make it more thick but not too hard. (I love kneading my dough on a flat space until I have attained the right elasticity)

  6. 6

    Step 6. Add some oil and knead to mix it up until it soft and not sticky. Cover the dough and leave it for around 10-15 minutes

  7. 7

    Step 7: Divide the dough into 10 to 13 equal parts making ball like shapes. Arrange them in a flat surface dusted with flour

  8. 8

    Step 8. Right away, pick one of the balls and place it on a flat surface. With a rolling pin, roll the ball to a circular shape. (enough to fit in the cooking pan)

  9. 9

    Step 9. Brush the circular chapati with oil on top

  10. 10

    Step 10. In a hot pan, place the rolled out circular chapati and fry each side until its golden brown on medium heat.(Repeat step 8 to 10 until you finish the rest chapati dough balls). Put your cooked chapati container and cover. Serve and enjoy your chapattis with stew or vegs
