Chapati

Indian flat bread that can be cooked on a griddle or heavy cast iron frying pan. Atti or chapati flour should really be used as wholemeal flour can be too starchy.

What you need

225 g atta flour
1/2 tsp salt
3 tsp butter, melted

Method

  1. Place flour in a bowl with the salt. Add the cold water, a little at a time, to make a soft but not sticky dough.

  2. Break off a small piece of dough, about 5 cm (2in) diameter. Roll in a little flour. Place on a lightly floured board. Roll into a round 15cm (6in) diameter and about 3mm (1/8in) thick.

  3. Lightly flour a griddle or heavy cast iron frying pan. Heat until a drop of water, when dropped on it, spatters immediately. This ensures the chapati doesn't become hard and brittle (if the griddle is not hot enough).

  4. Place the chapati on the griddle. Cook for about 45 secs. Turn over and cook for 45 secs. Press down using a fish slice or kitchen paper to encourage the chapati to bubble up. Repeat with the remaining dough. Keep cooked chapatis warm until needed.

  5. Brush with a little melted butter or ghee. Serve.

Cook's tip
