Step-by-Step Instructions

1. 1.Combine Dry Ingredients

   Add 2 cups of all-purpose flour to a mixing bowl. Then add 1 teaspoon of salt.

2. 2.Add Oil and Water

   Pour 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil into the flour mixture. Gradually add 1 cup of water, a little at a time, while mixing with your hands.

3. 3.Knead the Dough

   Continue adding water and mixing until a cohesive dough forms. Knead the dough for 5 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.

4. 4.Rest the Dough

   Cover the dough with cling film and let it rest for 10 minutes.

5. 5.Prepare for Rolling

   After resting, sprinkle some flour on a clean surface. Roll the dough into a log shape.

6. 6.Portion and Shape

   Tear off a small piece of dough, approximately golf ball size. Roll and shape it into a smooth ball.

7. 7.Roll out Chapati

   Dust the dough ball with flour and flatten it slightly. Use a rolling pin to roll the dough until it is fairly thin and circular.

8. 8.Cook on Pan

   Shake away any excess flour from the rolled dough. Place the chapati on a hot, dry pan. Cook until small air pockets begin to appear on the surface.

9. 9.Flip and Cook

   Flip the chapati over and cook for approximately 40 seconds on the other side.

10. 10.Puff on Flame

    Using tongs or a spatula, flip the chapati directly onto a naked flame on the stove. Cook until it puffs up completely (ensure it doesn't burn).

11. 11.Serve

    Once puffed, remove the chapati from the flame. Optionally, brush the edges with butter or ghee. The chapati can be used as pockets for fillings.
