Ingredients
- 2 cups Whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon Ajwain seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Water
- 2 tablespoons Low-fat curd
- 1 teaspoon Oil
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of whole wheat flour, 1 teaspoon of ajwain seeds, and 0.5 teaspoon of salt.
Step 2
Add 2 tablespoons of low-fat curd to the dry mixture, and mix well.
Step 3
Slowly add 0.75 cup of water bit by bit, and knead to form a soft and pliable dough. The exact amount of water needed may vary slightly based on the flour.
Step 4
Once the dough is formed, add 1 teaspoon of oil and knead again for about 2-3 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Step 5
Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 10 minutes.
Step 6
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and shape them into balls.
Step 7
Dust a clean surface with a bit of flour and roll out each ball into a thin circle, about 6 inches in diameter.
Step 8
Heat a non-stick tawa or griddle over medium heat.
Step 9
Place one rolled chapati on the hot tawa. When you see bubbles forming, flip it over after about 30 seconds.
Step 10
Cook the other side for about 45 seconds, pressing slightly with a spatula to ensure even cooking.
Step 11
Flip the chapati again. At this stage, it should puff up. If it does not, gently press with a spatula.
Step 12
Once cooked through and light brown spots appear, remove from the pan and keep warm in a cloth-lined container.
Step 13
Repeat with the remaining dough balls.
Step 14
Serve hot with your choice of low-fat curry or yogurt.
