Chapati

Preparation Steps:

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Gradually add warm water and mix to form a soft dough.

2. Knead the dough well for about 5-10 minutes until smooth and pliable. Optionally, knead with a little oil to enhance softness.

3. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for at least 30 minutes.

4. Divide the dough into small equal-sized balls.

5. Dust the rolling surface with some flour and roll each ball into a thin round disc, roughly 6-7 inches in diameter.

6. Heat a tawa or flat skillet on medium-high heat. Place the rolled chapati on the hot tawa.

7. Cook for about 30 seconds or until small bubbles appear. Flip it and cook the other side similarly.

8. Flip the chapati again and gently press it with a spatula or cloth, encouraging it to puff up.

9. Once fully cooked and puffed, optionally apply ghee or butter on top.

10. Remove from heat and keep warm wrapped in a cloth. Serve hot.
