Making Chapati
These chapati are really easy to make. The dough is simple and not in least bit difficult to work with. Mix together 1 cup of whole wheat flour, 1 cup of white flour, 1 tsp (or less) of salt, 2 tbsp of olive oil and about 3/4 cup of hot water. Make a soft dough. Add more hot water if needed. Knead for a few minutes and then let the dough rest for a few minutes. Divide the dough into 10 portions and roll each portion into a ball. Roll out on a floured board and then place on a hot, oiled skillet. Let them brown a bit before flipping. Keep them in a warm, damp towel until they are all done. These would also work well for a whole wheat tortilla or wrap. Just roll them out thinly and perhaps make 8 balls of dough instead of 10 if you want a larger tortilla.
These chapati were served with a spicy potato filling and chana masala.
