Healthy Hints
This recipe shows you that it is possible to make chapatis without added fat - best to serve them quickly so they stay soft, or wrap them in a moist tea towel until you have made them all. Use wholemeal flour for added fibre.
Cooking Guide
1. Knead flour with warm water into a firm dough.
2. Roll out into round chapatis using a little flour to stop them sticking.
3. Heat a tawa or non-stick frying pan. Toss the chapati onto the tawa and cook on one side for about 20 seconds or so.
4. Flip the chapati over and cook the other side fully for about a minute until it browns evenly. Turn over again to fully cook the other side. Serve immediately.
