Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Ajwain seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Warm water
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine gluten-free all-purpose flour, ajwain seeds, and salt. Mix well to ensure even distribution of the seeds and salt throughout the flour.
Step 2
Slowly add warm water to the flour mixture, stirring continuously with a wooden spoon or your hand. Add the water gradually to prevent the dough from becoming too sticky.
Step 3
Once the water is fully incorporated, add olive oil to the dough, and knead it gently until you achieve a smooth and pliable consistency. The dough should be soft but not sticky. If needed, add a bit more flour or water to adjust the consistency.
Step 4
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and shape each piece into a smooth ball.
Step 5
Take one dough ball and flatten it slightly with your hands. Place it between two sheets of parchment paper to prevent sticking and use a rolling pin to roll it out into a round disc, about 6 inches in diameter and 1/8 inch thick.
Step 6
Heat a non-stick skillet or tawa over medium heat. Once the pan is hot, carefully place the rolled-out chapati onto the skillet. Cook for about 1-2 minutes or until bubbles start to form on the surface.
Step 7
Flip the chapati and cook the other side for another 1-2 minutes, pressing lightly with a spatula to ensure even heat distribution. The chapati should have golden brown spots on both sides.
Step 8
Remove the cooked chapati from the skillet and set aside. Repeat the rolling and cooking process for the remaining dough balls.
Step 9
Serve the gluten-free ajwain chapati warm, ideally with your favorite curry or side dish.
