- 1 18 th tsp ghee (melted)
- 1 12 cups boiling water, water must be boiling
- 14 wheat flour, for dusting
- Add flour salt and ghee (veg oil) in a mixing bowl and mix until ghee is absorbed.
- If using reg veg oil be sure to only use 1 tsp or they will be too oily.
- Add water 1/2 cup at a time until you get a smooth dough that is slightly " springy" this will take about 5 minutes.
- *Do not over work the dough as it will become "hard".
- Let rest for about 1- 1.5 hours covered with a damp towel.
- in a warm space.
- Please watch your dough as depending on the temp of the room it may dry out or become to wet.
- *If too dry spritz with water just prior to rolling.
- if too wet dust with a bit more flour.
- If you have to add water or flour remember to re-work the balls to incorporate the addition then start rolling.
- To roll chapati.
- Break off balls about the size of a tennis ball.
- Dust your rolling surface and pin.
- * for each chapati.
- Dust your ball lightly * for each chapati.
- Roll out your chapati's to about 6 inches round they should be thin, but not flimsy about 1/8th of an inch thick.
- Place your chapati on a plate while rolling the rest of the batch.
- Dust the face up side of your chapati so that the next one will not stick to it!
- keep going until all are rolled.
- Heat your pan and give it (1) light spray of Pam or similar cooking spray.
- I use med heat with a non stick pan on my electric stove top.
- Cook until light bubbles come to the surface and it becomes lightly blackened in spots, but not too black, spray surface of chapati not cooking with Pam etc -- and flip.
- Total cook time for each chapati is about 1-2 minutes.
