Chappatis are made daily in almost all Indian homes. It takes a little practice to be skilled at making chappatis. They’re very healthy. It is best to serve them hot.
View original recipe on cookpad.comPinch and form lemon sized balls from the dough. Depending on how many chappatis you are making
Heat the griddle on high flame
Flatten the ball with your palms maintaining the circular shape
Add a drop of oil in the centre of the flattened ball and spread it evenly on it (only one side)
Sprinkle little flour on the oiled surface
Bring all the ends together and push it in the middle
Flatten it again, retaining the circular shape
Dust the flat circle in dry flour on both sides
Add little flour to the board, so that the chappati doesn’t stick while rolling
Roll the circle into a round flat disc/chappati (not too thin/transparent) maintain the same thickness all around
Turn the chappati clockwise while rolling and flattening. Flip it both sides. Sprinkle flour if it’s sticking to the board.
Place it on the hot griddle
When you see little bumps, flip it over, and brush it with oil. (use less oil as possible for it to be more healthy)
Now flip it over to the first side and brush it with oil the same way
Flip again to see if the bumps are light brown in colour
If it puffs up...it’s just PERFECT!!
When the bumps turn brown on both sides, your chappati is ready.
Serve hot. Can be stored in aluminium foil for 6 hours. It turns harder after 6 hours.
Enjoy 😉👍🏻
