Chapati

CHAPATI

Ingredients :

2 cups Atta flour (I used the mixed Atta flour ~ brown & white)

1 tablespoon Ghee/Butter/Margarine (I used margarine)

1 tablespoon cooking oil

Enough water

Salt ~ optional

Extra margarine

Method :

1. Place Atta flour in a bowl.

2. Rub in a tablespoon of Ghee/Butter/Margarine

3. Add water bit by bit until it becomes a soft dough and doesn't stick to the hand.

4. Add the cooking oil into the dough and knead till well combined.

5. The bread taste better if made few hours ahead. Make as many small balls as you can, as big as golf ball, flatten it and roll out.

6. Heat a non stick flat pan till really hot.

7. Before placing the bread on the pan, remove access flour, if any.

8. When you see the color of the bread changes to slightly darker color, turn over the other side. Gently, press the sides of the bread with a kitchen paper or a clean towel. Let the bread puffs up, then flip over, back to the first side.

9. Once cooked, remove from heat and brush a bit of margarine on top.

Note from Tillingtan :
Also when press, make sure you press on the sides first as it will encourrage the bread to puff up.

Thanks Tillingtan of Forum Cari for the recipe.
