Chapati preparation for beginners

Chapati or Indian flat bread is prepared with wheat flour.Main ingredients are wheat flour,water and salt.But some people use milk along with or instead of water to make chapati more soft.Some are adding ghee/butter/oil while preparing the dough and while cooking it self.What I do is after cooking the chapathi apply ghee.If you apply ghee over hot chapati it spreads evenly and makes it soft and tasty.

Required ingredients

Whole wheat flour: 2 cups
Water: 1 cup

puffed chapati

Salt:to taste
Ghee:7-8 tsp

 How to prepare chapati

• Take 1 cup of hot water in a large bowl.Add salt.
• Slowly add wheat flour to make soft dough so that it should not stick to fingers.
• Kneed the dough for 5 minutes and keep it aside for 15-30 minutes after covering it.
• Once again kneed the dough and make small balls of the size of lemon.
• Flatten the balls with the palm and toss it on wheat flour.
• Take one of the flattened ball roll out into thin circles with Chapati roller.
• While rolling sprinkle flour over it to prevent sticking.
• Those who finds difficulty in rolling can take the  help of chapati press.only drawback is chapati prepared with it will be thick.
• Heat tava on  medium flame.      put the rolled chapati on pre heated tava.
• Cook on one side .When there is small bubbles turn the chapati up side down .
• Again cook till it becomes well cooked.OR you can directly put it on the fire to puff.
