Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Whole wheat flour
• 0.5 cup Chickpea flour
• 0.25 cup Quinoa flour
• 0.25 cup Whey protein powder
• 2 tablespoons Ground flaxseeds
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Water
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.25 cup Extra whole wheat flour (for dusting)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, chickpea flour, quinoa flour, whey protein powder, ground flaxseeds, and salt. Mix well to ensure all dry ingredients are evenly distributed.

Step 2

Add the olive oil and gradually mix in the water. Start kneading the dough until it comes together and starts becoming smooth. This should take about 6-8 minutes.

Step 3

Cover the bowl with a damp cloth or plastic wrap and let the dough rest for at least 15 minutes. This resting period helps the dough to become more pliable.

Step 4

After resting, divide the dough into 8 equal portions and shape each portion into a ball.

Step 5

Using a rolling pin, roll out each ball on a lightly floured surface (using the extra whole wheat flour for dusting) to a round shape, roughly 5-6 inches in diameter.

Step 6

Heat a non-stick skillet or tava over medium heat. Once hot, place a rolled chapati onto the skillet.

Step 7

Cook for about 1-2 minutes on one side or until bubbles start to appear. Flip the chapati using a spatula and cook the other side until golden brown spots appear.

Step 8

Optionally, you can press the chapati lightly with a clean kitchen towel for it to puff up.

Step 9

Remove the chapati from the skillet and keep warm in a covered container or wrap in a clean dry towel.

Step 10

Repeat the cooking process with the remaining dough balls.

Step 11

Serve the chapatis warm with your choice of curry or vegetable dish for a complete high-protein meal.
