Chapathi or Roti



INGREDIENTS:
Two and half cup chapathi or roti flour
one cup of luke warm water
Salt one tsp
some roti flour for dusting the dough while rolling it out
Ghee or oil or butter (your wish)

DIRECTIONS :

Prepare dough by mixing together ½ cup of water with 1 tsp salt, 1 tsp ghee and just enough wheat flour.
Knead well.
Divide the dough in to small size balls.
Using a rolling-pin, roll out the dough into a thin,round patty, about 5 inches in diameter
Roll from the center, turning patty several times to prevent sticking. Try to make the edges slightly thinner than the center.
Heat a tawa over medium heat.
Place the rolled dough on the palm of one hand and flip it over on to the tawa. When the color changes on the top and bubbles appear, turn it over. When both sides are done, use kitchen tongs to remove the chapati from the tawa.

Directions to do chapathi on the gas stove:

If you have a gas stove, hold the cooked chapati over a medium flame and it will puff up immediately. Turn quickly to flame-bake the other side. Do this several times, taking care that the edges are well cooked.
Serve hot by applying ghee or butter.
