Ingredients

  • 250 g Wholemeal Flour
  • 150 ml Water Warm
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1 tbsp Oil

Instructions

  • Combine wholemeal flour and salt in a mixing bowl.
  • Add vegetable oil to the mixture and use your fingers to rub it in.
  • Gradually mix in warm water until you have a smooth and pliable dough. If the dough is too dry, add more water.
  • Knead the dough for 5-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
  • Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 10-15 minutes.
  • Divide the dough into 8-10 equal portions and shape them into balls.
  • Roll each ball into a thin, round chapati shape, about 15-20cm in diameter, on a floured surface.
  • Heat a non-stick frying pan or crepe pan over medium heat.
  • Cook one chapati on the pan for about 30-40 seconds until it starts to puff up and brown spots appear.
  • Flip the chapati over and cook the other side for another 30-40 seconds.
  • Keep the cooked chapati warm in a clean tea towel.
  • Repeat the process with the remaining chapatis.
