Ingredients
Scale
For the Chapati:
- 2 cups whole wheat flour (atta)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup water (177 ml), approximately
- Ghee, for brushing
Instructions
- Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine whole wheat flour and salt. Gradually add water and knead to form a soft, pliable dough. Cover and let the dough rest for 10 minutes.
- Divide Dough: Divide the dough into 10 equal portions and shape them into balls.
- Roll Out Chapatis: Roll out each dough ball into a thin, round chapati, about 6-7 inches in diameter.
- Cook Chapatis: Heat a tawa or flat griddle over medium heat. Place a rolled-out chapati on the hot tawa. Cook until brown spots appear on both sides, flipping as needed.
- Brush with Ghee: As soon as each chapati is cooked, brush it with ghee on both sides.
- Serve Hot: Serve the ghee chapatis hot with your favorite side dish.
Notes
- Variation: Add a pinch of ajwain (carom seeds) to the dough for extra flavor.
- Storage: Store any leftover chapatis in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days. Reheat before serving.
