Ingredients

• 1 cup Whole wheat flour
• 0.5 cup Quinoa flour
• 0.5 cup Chickpea flour (besan)
• 0.25 cup Sorghum flour (jowar)
• 2 tablespoons Ground flaxseed
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.75 cup Water
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, quinoa flour, chickpea flour, sorghum flour, ground flaxseed, and salt.

Step 2

Mix the dry ingredients well to combine and ensure even distribution of the flour and flaxseed.

Step 3

Create a well in the center of the mixed flours and add the olive oil.

Step 4

Gradually add the water, mixing with your hand or a spoon, until the dough comes together. You may need slightly more or less water depending on humidity and flour type.

Step 5

Once the dough starts to form, knead it with your hands in the bowl or on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Step 6

Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 15 minutes to allow the gluten to relax.

Step 7

After resting, divide the dough into 8 equal portions, rolling each portion into a smooth ball.

Step 8

Heat a skillet or tawa over medium-high heat.

Step 9

On a lightly floured surface, roll out one dough ball into a flat circle about 7-8 inches in diameter, using a rolling pin.

Step 10

Place the rolled-out chapati onto the heated skillet. Let it cook until small bubbles form on the surface, about 30-45 seconds.

Step 11

Flip the chapati over using a spatula, and cook for another 30-45 seconds, pressing gently with the spatula to encourage puffing.

Step 12

Flip once more, and cook for an additional 10-15 seconds, until both sides have light brown spots and the chapati is cooked through.

Step 13

Remove the chapati from the skillet and repeat the process with the remaining dough balls.

Step 14

Serve the chapatis warm with your favorite curry, lentils, or as a side with soups and salads.
