Chappathi

Ingridients

Whole wheat flour          1 cup

Luke warm water           1/2 cup

Salt                                   1/2tsp.

Oil                                    3tsp.

Procedure

• Mix 1 cup of wheat flour with 1/2 tsp of salt in a large bowl.
• Add 1/2 cup of water to the flour knead well until the dough becomes soft. Knead for atleast 5 minutes.
• Allow the dough to rest for 30 minutes.( Use this time for making side dish for chappathi).
• Don’t keep the dough open. Cover it with a damp cloth or place it in an air tight container. If it is kept open the dough may get dry.
• After 30 minutes make 10 to 11 balls with the dough.
• Press the balls with the roller to make chapathis. If it is sticky dust it with some flour.
• Heat a flat bottomed pan and  apply some oil to the pan.
• Note:If the pan is very hot the chappathi puffs up but be careful not to burn the chappathis. Once it puffs up reduce the flame.
• After putting chappathi on the pan wait for a while for the chappathi to puff up. If you immediately turn the chappthi it wont puff up.
• Once it puffs up turn the chappathi to cook the other side. (Try Try Try…. Experience makes things good

Always prepare chappathis just before having them. Don’t make long before having them.

The best side dishes are chicken curry, kadala curry, potato curry etc….. Whatever maybe my best combo with Chappathi is Tomato thokku. For a change yesterday we had this with Shrimp in Tomato Gravy…….
