How to Make Chapatis

  1. In a large bowl, combine 2 cups all-purpose flour and 1/2 cup plain yogurt.
  2. Gradually add 1/2 - 3/4 cup of water, mixing until a soft, pliable dough forms. Add more water as needed to achieve desired consistency.
  3. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  4. Divide the dough into 8-10 equal-sized pieces.
  5. Roll each piece into a smooth ball, then gently flatten it using your palms.
  6. Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. The pan should be hot enough to sizzle slightly when a dough ball is added.
  7. Using a lightly floured rolling pin, roll each flattened ball into a 6-7 inch circle. Carefully transfer to the hot skillet.
  8. Cook for 1-2 minutes per side, or until lightly browned and small bubbles appear. Using tongs, hold the cooked chapati directly over the medium heat flame for a few seconds until it puffs up.
  9. Brush with melted butter or ghee (optional).
  10. Serve immediately and enjoy!
