Zubereitung von Homemade East Indian Chapati Bread
- Whisk together the flour and salt in a large bowl.
- Cut in the softened butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the yogurt and warm water.
- Gradually add the yogurt mixture to the flour mixture, mixing with a fork until a shaggy dough forms.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
- Divide the dough into 8 equal portions.
- Roll each portion into a thin circle (1/16-1/8 inch thick) on a lightly floured surface.
- Sprinkle one side of each chapati with your desired toppings (if using).
- Heat a heavy iron skillet or griddle over medium-high heat.
- Cook each chapati for 1-2 minutes per side, or until lightly browned and puffed up. Use tongs to flip to prevent tearing.
- As each chapati is cooked, brush lightly with melted ghee or butter.
- Stack the cooked chapatis in a foil-lined basket to keep warm.
- Serve warm with your favorite Indian entree, cucumber-mint yogurt sauce, or major grey chutney.
