Chapati/ roti

It's unleavened flat bread made out of wheat flour called atta, an integral part of the Indian cuisine which is normally had with cooked vegetables or curries. It can also be used to make sandwich wraps. Delicious yet healthy!


Things you will require:

Chapati tawa- an iron conclave griddle of 10-12inch diameter.

Rolling pin

Tongs


Ingredients:

2.5 cups- Wheat flour

1/2 tsp- salt

1 cup- wheat flour- for dusting the dough while rolling

1cup- warm water or as required.

Put the flour in a large bowl and make a small well in the middle of the flour and pour the water in it bit by bit with your left hand and mix the flour and water with your right hand. Continue kneading the dough until the mixture cleans the side of the bowl and has become non sticky. Knead it into a moist and soft dough. Cover and rest the dough for 15- 20 mins.

After resting the dough, knead the dough well once again and divide in into a little bigger than golf size balls.

On a slightly dusted surface, flatten each ball of dough with your hand and dust it once again in the wheat flour and start rolling it out.

Roll out the dough with the help of  a rolling pin into a thin round patty- 5 inch in diameter. Roll it from the center and dust it once in while to avoid it sticking to the surface. Make the edges thinner than the center.

Pre-heat the chapati tawa over medium heat and flip the rolled out dough on to the tawa. When the bubbles start to appear, turn it over.

When both the sides are done, press the edges with a clean cloth to puff up the rotis.

Serve it hot either dry or topped with butter.
