Ingredients

• 2 cups Whole wheat flour
• 0.75 cup Water
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour and olive oil. Gradually add water while mixing with your hands to form a soft dough. The dough should be pliable but not sticky.

Step 2

Knead the dough for about 5-7 minutes until it is smooth and elastic. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for at least 10 minutes.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Lightly flour a flat surface and a rolling pin. Take one dough ball and roll it out into a thin circle, about 6 inches in diameter. Repeat this process for all dough balls.

Step 5

Preheat a skillet or tawa over medium-high heat. Once hot, place a rolled-out chapati on the skillet.

Step 6

Cook the chapati for about 30 seconds on one side or until small bubbles start to form. Flip it over using tongs or a spatula and cook for another 30 seconds.

Step 7

Press the edges of the chapati with a clean kitchen towel or spatula for even cooking and puffing. Flip again if needed.

Step 8

Remove the chapati from the skillet once fully cooked, and keep it covered with a towel to stay warm. Repeat the process with the remaining chapatis.

Step 9

Serve the chapatis warm with your choice of curry, vegetables, or stew.
