chapattis are eaten all over india as an accompaniment to most meals-they really are a national bread. the art is in the shaping- a good chapatti should be perfectly round and flat. Ingredients:
1 2/3 cups wholewheat flour,sifted |
1/2 tsp salt (optional) |
1 tbsp vegetable oil |
melted ghee or butter |
Directions:
1. mix the flour,salt and 2/3 cup water in a bowl. add the oil and knead to a soft dough. leave covered with a wet cloth for 30 mins.
2. knead the dough again on a floured countertop for about 10 mins.then divide into 10 pieces using a little flour to shape them into round balls.
3. press out each piece on a floured board using your fingers. roll out with a rolling pin into thin pancakes about 4-5 inches in diameter.
4. heat a flat griddle or skillet. cook each chapatti over medium heat for 30 seconds and when one side dries up and tiny bubbles begin to appear,turn it over and cook till brown spots appear on the under surface. press the sides down gently with a clean dish towel.
5. remove the chapattis from the griddle with a pair of tongs and place directly over the heat/flame until it puffs up.
6. if u want- smear one side with a little ghee or butter and serve immediately.
