Chapathi is the most popular Indian bread. It belongs to north Indian cuisine, but the tasty bread is popular across the country. It is considered easy to prepare and the best thing about Chapathi is that it is made of wheat and is healthier than other breads made of maida. It can be rolled with different kinds of fillings of your choice to eat as a snack for kids especially. It is a popular breakfast and can be eaten for lunch or dinner too.
Ingredients
450g/1 lb whole meal plain flour
250ml/9 fl oz cold water
Butter for spreading, optional
Method of Preparation:
Take 200 g of flour (atta or wheat) for making chapathis. Take a deep bowl and keep the remaining flour. Take another bowl and fill with cold water. Add water to the bowl with flour little by little, kneading at the same time till dough is made which is elastic and soft. The more you knead the better for softer chapathis. Sprinkle some from reserved flour to a board or flat surface for rolling chapathis.
Divide dough to eight portions. Shape one by one to a ball. Then flatten one by one before rolling. Roll at the floured board. Roll to a size of flat disc with around 15 cm diameter. Flour when ever necessary. Heat a frying pan or griddle, lay Chapathis one by one and cook for 30 seconds each till bubbles or golden brown spots appear. Flip and cook similarly. Keep them to a kitchen towel and keep chappathis in a casserole to remain warm. You can spread butter on sides. Eat with any choice of curry.
