Step-by-Step Instructions

1. 1.Prepare the Flour Mixture

   In a large mixing bowl, add 2 cups of wheat flour, 1/2 tsp of salt, and 1 tbsp of oil. Mix everything together with your fingers until well combined.

2. 2.Knead the Dough

   Gradually add water and start kneading. Continue to knead for 4-5 minutes until you get a soft, smooth, and pliable dough that is not sticky to the touch.

3. 3.Rest the Dough

   Apply a few drops of oil over the surface of the dough to prevent it from drying out. Cover the bowl with a damp cloth or a lid and let the dough rest for 10-15 minutes.

4. 4.Divide and Roll

   After resting, knead the dough for another minute. Divide the dough into 12 equal-sized balls. Take one ball, dust it with dry wheat flour, flatten it slightly, and roll it out into a thin, even circle.

5. 5.Cook the Chapathi

   Heat a tawa or flat pan over high heat. Once hot, place the rolled chapathi on it. Cook for about 15 seconds, or until you see small bubbles forming on the surface.

6. 6.Flip and Puff

   Flip the chapathi and cook the other side for another 15-17 seconds. Flip it again. The chapathi will start to puff up. You can gently press the sides with a spatula to help it puff up completely.

7. 7.Final Cook and Serve

   Cook until light brown spots appear on both sides. Remove from the tawa and place it in a casserole or a container lined with a cloth to keep it soft. Repeat the process for the remaining dough balls. Serve hot.
