Chapati recipe
- 300 g (10.6oz) wholemeal or chapatti flour
- 5 tbsp vegetable oil
- 50 ml (1.8fl oz) hot water
- 1 cup optional - ghee to baste
- Measure out the flour into a large bowl.
- Add the oil and mix together with a fork until you have large, roughly shaped breadcrumbs.
- Slowly add half the hot water and mix the dough with the fork until large lumps form.
- Work the dough together with your hands, adding a little water to bind into a stiff dough.
- Pour a few teaspoons of oil onto your work surface and knead the dough until it's slightly smooth.
- Divide the dough into little balls about the size of a large walnut.
- Roll each ball out on a lightly floured surface aiming for a circular shape which is a few millimetres thick.
- Heat a dry frying pan to a medium heat and cook each chapati for a couple of minutes on each side.
- Use a spatula to turn them over.
- Flip them off the frying pan and then pour a little ghee over the top and smear over with the back of your spoon.
- Serve warm.
