Chappati or roti

Flat bread made from wholemeal flour, fried in butter or ghee.

What you need

450 g plain wholemeal flour
1 pinch salt
120-175 ml water
50 ml melted butter

Method

  1. Sift the flour and salt together. Make a well in the centre. Gradually add enough waer to make a soft dough. Knead well until no longer sticky.

  2. Shape into small balls.

  3. On a floured surface, roll each ball into an 18 cm/7in round.

  4. Gently heat a frying pan. Place a round of dough onto the pan. When litle rown specks appear on the underside, turn over and cook briefly on the other side.

  5. Flip over again and, with a clean tea towel, press gently to circulate steam all around, until underside is golden brown. Do the same on the other side.

  6. Remove and place on a plate.

  7. Brush melted butter (or ghee) over the top. Place in a covered container.

  8. Repeat with remaining dough rounds and stack on top of each other.

You could use a mixture of plain white flour and wholemeal flour. If preferred, after cooking on both sides, the bread can be placed under a preheated grill. When the bread swells, turn over and cook the other side for about 30 seconds.
