Chapati
Chapati is a type of flatbread that is commonly eaten in South Asia and parts of Africa such as Kenya . It is made from whole wheat flour, water, and sometimes a little oil. It is typically cooked on a griddle or skillet and is a staple food in many households. Chapati is often served with curry, vegetables, or lentils.
Ingredients
- 2 cups whole wheat flour
- 1 cup water
- 1 tablespoon oil (optional)
- Pinch salt (optional)
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, salt, and oil (if using).
- Slowly add water to the flour mixture and knead until a soft dough forms. Add more water or flour as needed to get the right consistency.
- Divide the dough into 8 equal-sized balls.
- Roll out each dough ball into a thin, round disc using a rolling pin and a little flour to prevent sticking.
- Heat a skillet or griddle over medium-high heat.
- Place a rolled-out chapati on the hot skillet and cook for about 1-2 minutes on each side, or until small bubbles form.
- Brush each side of the chapati with a little oil or ghee while cooking for added flavor (optional).
- Repeat the process with the remaining dough balls.
- Serve the chapatis warm with your favorite curry or side dish.
- Enjoy!
