Chapattis

Chapattis (Indian flat bread)

These flat breads are served for breakfast, lunch and dinner. They are a great accompaniment to any indian dish and a good alternative to rice. I prefer chapattis to rice any day.

Ingredients

3 cups chapatti flour
1/2 cup warm water


Method

Put the flour in a bowl and mix until you get a dough. If the dough is too thin add some more flour and make sure you have a stretchy consistency.
Take out of the bowl and kneed for 5 mins on a flat surface, using extra flour to make sure the dough does not stick.
Divide into rounds about the same size as a ping-pong ball.
Now put a TEVA ( flat indian pan for making chapattis) or a frying pan on a high heat.
Get one of the prepared dough balls and using a rolling pin, roll out into about 7 inch flat bread.
Chuck it onto the teva or pan and cook each side for about a minute or so.
Rub some butter on ( optional).

serve with any of my dishes.
