Chapati

Preparation of chapati :

The word "Chappathi" is derived from Kannada origin "Chappate thatti" meaning "flattened round". Chapati is noted in Ain-i-Akbari , a 16th century document, by Mughal Emperor, Akbar’s vizier, Abu'l-Fazl ibn Mubarak.

Chapati is an unleavened flatbread from India. Chapatis are one of the most common forms in which wheat, the staple of northern South Asia, is consumed. Chapati is a form of roti. The words are often used interchangeably. While roti refers to any flat unleavened bread, chapati is a roti made of whole wheat flour and cooked on a tava (flat skillet).

Lets see the preparation of this recipe

Ingredients

Whole Wheat Flour - 1/2 cup

Lukewarm Water - 1/4 cup (use more as needed)

Salt - 1/8 tsp  

For rolling

Whole Wheat Flour - 1/4 cup

Roti Board

Rolling Pin

Procedure

Making Dough

Mix flour, salt and water together to make a soft dough (add more water as needed). Here to make dough smoother add curd or milk.

Knead the dough on a lightly greased surface to make the dough smooth and pliable.

Set the dough aside and cover with a damp cloth. Let the dough rest for at least ten minutes or more.

To roll out the dough

Divide the dough into 8 equal parts.

Make smooth ball and press flat. Take 1 ball; press it in dry flour from both sides.

Roll in to a 5-inch circle. If the dough sticks to the rolling pin or rolling syrface, lightly dust the chapati with dry flour. Tip: Use the dry flour just enough you need to roll the chapathi, too much use of flour will make the chapathi dry.

Now fold it and roll again.

After that again make other folding and roll it again. It gives triangle shape to chapati.

Chapati is ready to cook.

Chapati Preparation

Heat tawai on medium high heat. Add 1 tsp of oil.

After chapati starts changing color and start puffing in different places flip the chapati over.

Flip the chapati again. The chapati should have light golden-brown spots on both sides.

Chapati is ready.  Preparation of dough is same for Indian flat breads.
