Chappathi-Indian flat bread

The chapati, also known as a roti, is the staple flat bread of Northern India and Pakistan. It can be made from many types of grain, but is most commonly made with finely-ground whole wheat flour.

Roti is a type of tortilla-style flat bread, and sometimes includes all-purpose flour and whole wheat flour for a slightly lighter texture. Chapatis are type of Roti usually made with just whole wheat flour and are slightly more rustic. Both Roti and Chapatis are cooked without oil.

but how do you make the best, soft, healthy and tasty chappathis.
Let me tell you one of the easiest recipes to follow and make.

ingredients
whole wheat flour 1 cup
salt to taste
boiled water 1/2 cup

steps to follow
take the first 2 ingredients in a large bowl
mix using a metallic spoon
boil water. we need boiling water and not warm water.
pour the water into the bowl and mix using the spoon. you can see the powder get incorporated into the water well enough and a dough is formed
rest for 5 minutes to let cool the dough.
once the hand can handle the heat mix using your hand and form into a soft dough . no need to add oil to the dough.
if the dough feels sticky add a handful of flour and mix again. if the water feels less add a spoon of water and mix.
the dough will not stick to the hands or the bowl if the consistency is right.
make the dough into smaller balls.
take each ball of dough and thinly roll it out using a rolling pin. add flour if needed to the surface and the rolling pin.
take a pan and heat it up. once you can feel the heat just by placing above the pan, the pan is ready to use.
place the rolled out dough on the pan and flip in 5 seconds.
wait for small bubbles to form on the surface and flip again
the chappathi fluffs up and it is ready to be removed from the pan and served.
this recipe does not use oil and since made with whole wheat flour, it is one of the easiest and healthiest recipes to prepare. chappathis acan be eaten with butter and jam or with vegetarian or nonvegetarian dishes, both dry and gravy.

tips:
do not use oil for kneading the dough.

if the dough lacks water add in small quantities and knead until soft
try to roll out the dough thinly and evenly as possible.
no need to apply oil to pan.
