For a softer chapati, you can add a tablespoon of ghee or oil to the dough while kneading. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour, one tablespoon at a time. If the dough is too dry, add a little more water, one teaspoon at a time. Make sure the griddle is hot before cooking the chapati, but not so hot that it burns the bread. For best results, serve the chapati immediately after cooking. You can keep them warm in a covered container or wrapped in a clean kitchen towel.

01 Step
Recipe View 2 mins In a large bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour and salt until well combined. (2 minutes)
02 Step
Recipe View 5 mins Gradually add water, mixing until a soft, pliable dough forms. The dough should be soft but not sticky. (5 minutes)
03 Step
Recipe View 7 mins Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface. Knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. This step is crucial for developing the gluten and ensuring a tender chapati. (7 minutes)
04 Step
Recipe View 3 mins Divide the dough into 8 equal portions. Roll each portion into a smooth ball. (3 minutes)
05 Step
Recipe View 10 mins Using a rolling pin, roll each ball into a very thin circle, about 6-7 inches in diameter. Aim for even thickness to ensure even cooking. (10 minutes)
06 Step
Recipe View 3 mins Heat a flat griddle or tawa over medium-high heat. The griddle is ready when a drop of water sizzles and evaporates quickly. (3 minutes)
07 Step
Recipe View 45 mins Place one rolled chapati on the hot griddle. Cook for about 30-45 seconds, until small bubbles begin to appear on the surface. (45 seconds)
08 Step
Recipe View 45 mins Flip the chapati and cook for another 30-45 seconds on the other side, until lightly speckled with brown spots. (45 seconds)
09 Step
Recipe View 1 mins Remove the chapati from the griddle and, using tongs, briefly expose it directly to an open flame (gas stovetop) for a few seconds on each side. This will cause it to puff up dramatically. Alternatively, you can press the chapati gently on the hot griddle to encourage puffing. (1 minute)
10 Step
Recipe View 0 mins Serve the chapati immediately. Enjoy with your favorite curries, stews, or as a wrap.
