Method
- Put all of your ingredients into a mixer, with the exception of the oil, and knead together for about 5 minutes (alternatively knead by hand). This recipe makes about 5 to 6 chapatis.
- Dough should be elastic but not sticky.
- Coat the dough with the oil. Cover in cling film and leave to stand for 30 minutes.
- Heat your Egg to 250°C with a stainless steel grid and a non-stick frying pan or tawa.
- Pick off a lump of dough, about the size of a walnut. Flatten and roll out (using flour to dust your surface and chapati), until the dough is about 15cm in diameter.
- Place the chapati into the frying pan. Leave for 10 seconds then flip over.
- Repeat this a couple more times, you're looking for brown spots on both sides.
- By gently pressing around the outside of the chapati whilst it's cooking with a spatula, this will encourage air bubbles and the dough will puff up.
- Use a spatula to lift the chapati from the pan and place on a plate.
- Repeat until you have cooked all your chapatis.
