- 250 g (2 cups) fine wholemeal (atta) flour
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ghee or butter
- 150 ml (2/3 cup) water
- Extra flour for dusting
Atta flour is a form of whole wheat flour. It is made from durum wheat that is ground very fine, with some of the bran included. Breads made from atta flour include chapati and roti.
1 Sift the flour, salt and ghee into a mixing bowl. Make a well in the centre and add the water.
2 Mix by hand to form a soft dough, then knead It for 10 minutes on a lightlyfloured work surface. Set aside for 15 minutes.
3 Divide the dough into 6 portions. Flatten each piece on the palm of your hand, pressing it with the fingers. Place it on a rolling board dusted with flour and roll into a thin pancake, about 13 cm (5 in) in diameter.
4 Heat a skillet or a griddle. Place the rolled chapati on it.
5 Cook on medium heat for 2 minutes. When one side dries and tiny bubbles begin to appear, flip it over and cook until brown spots form on the underside. Remove and serve immediately.
