Instructions: Preparation time 10-15 minutes

Put the chapatti flour into a bowl, add the oil and mix lightly. Add enough hot water to make a soft dough. If the mixture is too sticky, add a teaspoon of ghee to the bowl and continue to knead.

Devide the dough into walnut sized pieces. Set your griddle on a medium setting. If you dont have a griddle then a heavy frying pan or a tavi will do. You will also need a wire rack set on an open flame or a very hot radiant ring.

Flatten a piece of dough between your palms and dip it in the plain flour. Now roll out to a thin round chapatti, aproximately 15 cms, 6 inches in diameter.

Cook for 1 minute on the griddle (or frying pan), turning once. Do not add any butter or oil to the frying pan as chapattis are cooked dry.

Turn onto a wire rack over a hot flame. the chapattis should, at this stage, bubble up into a round balloon. Turn quickly to avoid burning. When lightly browned on both sides, put the chapattis one at a time onto a warm plate and spread each one with ghee, placing them on top of each other as you make them. Do not worry if your chapattis do not bubble up completely. They will be quite acceptable if you cook them on both sides without broning them.
