Ingredients

• 1 cup Whole wheat flour
• 0.5 cup Ragi (finger millet) flour
• 0.5 cup Jowar (sorghum) flour
• 0.25 cup Besan (chickpea flour)
• 0.75 cup Warm water
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, ragi flour, jowar flour, and besan.

Step 2

Add the salt to the flour mixture and mix well.

Step 3

Create a well in the center of the flour mixture and add the olive oil.

Step 4

Pour warm water gradually into the mixture, stirring continuously with your hand to form a soft dough.

Step 5

Knead the dough for about 6-8 minutes until it is smooth and pliable. If the dough feels too sticky, add a little more whole wheat flour. If it's too dry, add a bit more water.

Step 6

Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for at least 15 minutes.

Step 7

Divide the rested dough into 6 equal-sized balls.

Step 8

Heat a non-stick skillet or tawa over medium-high heat.

Step 9

On a lightly floured surface, roll out each dough ball into a thin circle about 6-7 inches in diameter using a rolling pin.

Step 10

Place the rolled-out chapati on the hot skillet. Cook for about 1 minute or until you see bubbles start to form.

Step 11

Flip the chapati and cook the other side for another minute, pressing gently with a spatula to ensure even cooking.

Step 12

Flip once again if needed, cooking until the chapati puffs up slightly and gets lightly browned spots.

Step 13

Remove the chapati from the skillet and cover it with a clean kitchen towel to keep warm while you cook the remaining chapatis.

Step 14

Serve the chapatis warm with your choice of accompaniments.
