Description

From the time I started cooking till recently my chapathis were hard and chewy . I came across a recipe in mallika badrinaths cook book . Tried it out and it was so very soft . Had some left over and the chapathis were as soft as it was the previous day . Made frankies with them . Finally I learnt the trick of soft chapathis .

Ingredients

1. Heat water with a teaspoon of oil . Mix flour and salt together .
2. When water starts to boil , pour over the flour and mix quickly with a flat ladle . Keep closed . Cool to warm .
3. Knead to a smooth dough smearing little oil to hands . Sprinkle water if necessary while kneading . Make even size balls .
4. Roll out into thin chapathis using little flour to dust . Heat a tawa .
5. Put the chapathi. Wait for 10 seconds , flip over to the other side cook for another 15 seconds and turn over once again . The chapathi will puff up .
6. Remove from tawa and smear oil or ghee over the chapathi . ( optional ) these chapathis remain soft even with out using oil .
