Ingredients
- 3 cups whole wheat flour
- Salt to taste (about 1 teaspoon )
- Warm water as required (about 1 ½ cups)
- Ghee (clarified butter; optional)
Directions
Knead together the flour and water, starting with only a slight dribble of water and adding more as you go until the dough becomes smooth but not too sticky.
Cover dough, and let rest for at least 5 minutes.
Divide dough into balls and roll out into disks, slightly thicker than denim material; sprinkle with flour as you roll.
Place a non-oiled pan over moderately high heat and test its surface temperature by holding your hand over it.
When very hot, put a chapati on the pan and press it flat with a spatula or dry cloth to make it rise up.
Flip and repeat so it becomes lightly browned on both sides.
If desired, brush with ghee.
