Ingredients
- 3 cups whole wheat or all-purpose flour (plus 1 cup more, for working the dough and rolling)
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1¼ cups warm water - approximately 110°F or 40° C
- 4 tablespoon melted butter
- 2 cloves garlic - minced
- 5 tablespoon cooking oil for brushing the chapatis
Instructions
- Mix all-purpose (or whole wheat) flour and salt in a large bowl.
- In a small separate bowl, add minced garlic to the butter, combine and set aside.
- Next, add the garlic butter and mix to combine. Slowly add the water to the flour mixture.
- Knead until you obtain a soft, smooth, and pliable dough. Add flour in small handfuls, if the dough feels too sticky.
- Cover the dough with a clean and damp kitchen cloth or plastic wrap and allow it to rest for at least 30 minutes at room temperature.
- Divide the dough into equally-sized balls. Dust a wooden pastry board or your kitchen counter with flour, lightly sprinkle some flour on top of each ball of dough, and use a rolling pin to roll each into a circle of 20cm in diameter (about 8 inches).
- If the dough resists stretching, let it relax for a while and then roll again. Dust with more flour or top with some cooking oil, if the dough sticks to the rolling board.
- Heat a roti tawa or heavy-bottomed pan using high heat. Once hot, reduce the heat to a medium and place the rolled chapati dough on top.
- Cook each side alternating between medium and low heat, until brown spots form and the chapati starts to puff up then use a spoon to flip.
- Lightly brush each side with cooking oil, turn over and allow the buttered side to cook for a minute, or until the chapati has brown spots all over its surface.
- Transfer to a paper-lined tray or container and cover to keep them warm. Repeat the process with the remaining dough. Serve with your favourite gravy, curry, or stew.
