Ingredients:

  • ½ cup of Whole Wheat Flour (Aata)
  • 2/3 cups of Unbleached All-Purpose Flour (Maida)
  • ½ cup of Water
  • ¼ tsp. Salt (optional)

Preparation:

  1. Knead the dough by adding water. Knead well, use enough water to knead well but not too much.
  2. After kneaded well set dough aside to rise for about 10 minutes.
  3. Take a little portion of the dough to form a ball about 1 ½ inches in diameter. Roll the ball flat on a lightly floured surface.
  4. Pat it back and forth between your hands until it becomes thin. (Patting makes the chapati puff up when baked.)
  5. Cook it on an ungreased tawa or griddle until it is brown and puffy. Use medium heat so the chapati does not burn.
