Cuisine: Indian
Ingredients:
Whole wheat flour - 4 cups
Salt - 1/4 teaspoon
Water - 1.5 cups + 1 tablespoon
Coconut oil - 1 1/2 tablespoons + for frying
Method:
Take a mixing bowl and add whole wheat flour into it. Add salt, 1 tablespoon of oil and water to it. Knead into a soft but firm dough. Coat the dough with 1/2 tablespoon of oil and cover with a cotton cloth. Set it aside for 30 minutes. Then, knead the dough lightly and make big lemon sized balls. Take a chapati making board (wooden, marble or granite) and the rolling pin. Dust the surface of the board with dry whole wheat flour and place a ball of dough on it. Press it with your fingers for make a flat round disc. Now roll the dough with the rolling pin into a medium thin chapati. Dust more flour while rolling if the chapati is sticking to the board. Repeat the same process until the dough is finished. Then, heat a tawa or a griddle and put a chapati on it. Cook it on either side for half a minute on high flame. Then, reduce the flame and drizzle few drops of coconut oil on either sides and fry until brown spots appear here and there. Don’t over cook the chapati as it will become hard. Keep the cooked chapatis in a hot box or a Casserole so that they will stay soft and warm until served. Serve Chapati with vegetable curries, chutneys, chicken curry, mutton curry, peanut chutney pudi and many more.
