HOW TO MAKE SOFT CHAPATIS.

HOW TO MAKE SOFT WHITE CHAPATIS.

 Ingredients

• 2 cups wheat flour
• ~¾ cup warm water
• Oil or ghee
• Pinch of salt
• 2 tbsp of sugar

Step-by-Step                                                                                    

1. Knead a soft dough

• Add water gradually while mixing.
• Knead for 8–10 minutes until smooth and soft.
• Add 3tsp of cooking oil
• Dough should feel soft but not sticky.

 Rest the dough

Cover and rest for 20–30 minutes.

This helps gluten relax and makes chapatis softer and easier to roll.

 Roll evenly

• Make small balls.
• Dust lightly with dry flour.
• Roll evenly — not too thin, not too thick.

 Cook on a hot pan/griddle

• Heat the pan well before cooking.
• Put chapati on dry pan/griddle.

5.Cook sequence:

1. First side: tiny bubbles appear flip your chapati.
2. Apply some oil on the cooked side then flip again for it to be well done.
3. Second side: light brown spots add oil and flip.
4. After the second side is well cooked remove it from the pan/griddle and repeat the same process.

Avoid overcooking — that makes chapatis hard.

 

Best Tips for Extra Soft Chapatis

• Use warm water for kneading.
• Add 1 tsp oil/ghee to dough.
• Don’t use too much dry flour while rolling.
• Keep cooked chapatis wrapped in a cloth or insulated container.
