    Ingredients

    • 3 cups all purpose flour
    • 1 teaspoon sugar
    • 1 ½ teaspoon salt
    • 3 tablespoons ghee or oil
    • 1 ¼ cups water

    Instructions

    • In a large bowl add flour and make a well then add sugar, salt followed by water and ghee or oil.
    • Knead to form a soft and sticky dough
    • Place dough on a heavily floured board and knead for about 10 minutes. Continue to flour the dough as needed to facilitate kneading. The end result should be soft, elastic and smooth.
    • Divide the dough into 6 pieces and let it rest.
    • Using a rolling pin, roll out the dough into a circle
    • Lightly oil the chapatti dough with ghee, not too much
    • Then place dough on a heavily floured plate, pressing down the dough.
    • Turn the dough over and repeat.
    • Gently shake off excess flour.
    • Shape the dough like you would a paper fan- starting at one end to the other.
    • Then coil it up like this- see picture
    • When all the dough as been coiled up cover them with a damp cloth for about 20 minutes.
    • Gently flatten out the coiled dough and roll out, roll out from the center working outwards.
    • Rotate the dough each time you roll it. Roll out to about ¼ inch thick.
    • Oil a skillet and the upside of the chapatti as well, cook until golden brown on each side about 2-3 minutes.
    • Serve Warm!
