How do you make chapati?

In: International Cuisine [Edit categories]

Answer:

Mix chapati flour (a wheat flour which has not been over refined so has a good bran content) Mix with a little salt and enough water to make a soft dough. Knead until the dough feels elastic. Then allow it to rest for half an hour or so. Take the dough and form into balls the size of golf ball or a little larger. Roll the balls out into thin circles of dough like a small pizza. Indian and Pakistani ladies have a special thin rolling pin and rolling stand for this but an ordinary rolling pin and work surface will do. Bake the chapati either on a hot griddle stone or in a hot skillet/frying pan. The chapati will puff up a little . Turn them over when one side is browned and brown the other side.
