- 1 teaspoon salt
- Water as needed
- Optional: 1 tablespoon oil for softer chapatis
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine whole wheat flour and salt.

- Knead the dough for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for at least 30 minutes.
- Divide the dough into equal portions and shape each into a ball.
- On a floured surface, flatten one ball and roll it out into a thin circle.
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat until hot.
- Place the rolled-out chapati on the skillet and cook for about 30 seconds until bubbles form.
- Flip the chapati and cook for another 30 seconds, pressing gently with a spatula.
- Optionally, place directly over an open flame for a few seconds to puff it up completely.
