Chapati

  1. In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt.
  2. Add the ghee and mix well.
  3. Add the water and mix to form a firm dough.
  4. Knead for 10 minutes, form into a ball and wrap with plastic.
  5. Let rest 1 hour.
  6. Divide the dough into 12 balls of equal size.
  7. On a lightly floured surface, use a rolling pin to roll the balls into thin circles about 6 inches in diameter.
  8. Let rest 10 minutes.
  9. Heat a dry griddle or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat and cook the chapatis, 1 at a time, until browned and puffed, about 1 minute per side, pressing lightly around the edges with a spatula, which helps air bubbles form.
  10. Lower the heat if the bread begins to scorch.
  11. Serve warm with butter.
