Chapathi

I have noticed that there is only one recipe in the breads section of my blog. So here comes the second recipe. Very famous Indian bread - "Chapathi". Very famous in the Northern part of India and consumed almost every day for lunch as well as for dinner. Very easy recipe with very few ingredients. Well I have an electronic machine to make chapathi, so I dont add oil for frying. If you are planning to fry them on the pan then do you a little bit of oil.

Rolled chapathi

Ingredients:

Wheat flour - 1 1/4 cup
Water - 1/3 cup
Salt - 1 pinch
Yogurt - 2 tbsp
Oil - 1/2 tsp for each chapati

Preparation:
  1. Add all the ingredients except oil, in to a food processor and blend it in to a stiff dough. 
  2. Let this dough sit for about 1 or 2 hours. 
  3. Knead the dough once again just before rolling the chapathis. 
  4. Divide the dough in to lemon size balls and roll them in to a round chapathi. (if you are trying for the first time then don't bother about the shape :))
  5. Heat a pan and place the rolled chapathi on to it. let if fry on one side and then turn it to the other side and let it fry for some more time. At this point the chapathi will start to puffup.
  6. Then add a little oil and fry it on both sides for some more time. 
Enjoy while it is hot with any curry and yogurt!!!!!
