See chapati recipe. One of the most famous and versatile of Indian dishes, the chapati is an Indian bread made daily in most Indian kitchens. No meal is complete without chapati and we show you easy it is to make them. All ingredients to make chapati for weight loss  recipe is easily available in Indian kitchens. 

To make whole wheat chapati  recipe, combine the whole wheat flour, oil and salt and knead into a smooth soft dough using enough water. Keep aside for 15 to 20 minutes. Cover and keep the dough aside for 15 to 20 minutes. Divide the dough into 6 equal portions and roll out each portion of the dough into a thin circle. Cook the chapati on a non stick tava and then cook it on an open flame till it puffs up. This is how to make soft chapati.

I would like to share some important tips to make the perfect chapati recipe. 1. For making the chapati dough, take a deep bowl and add the flour to it.We need to take a deep bowl so that the flour and the other ingredients do not fall off while we are mixing or kneading the dough. 2. Some people like their chapatis bland ,so you can even skip adding salt to your chapati dough. 3. Add water little by little. Be careful while adding water.Adding too much of water initially will make it difficult for you to knead. 4. Apply a little oil on the surface of the dough before you keep it for resting, so that it doesn’t become dry. Cover the dough with a wet muslin cloth. You can also use a food grade quality cling film or a plate to cover the dough. 5. Keep it aside for 15 minutes. This resting period improves the texture of the dough, makes it easier to roll and makes the chapatis softer and fluffier.

Whether they like to have it with subzi and dal, rolled up with grated veggies and cheese, or with a layer of jam, the Chapati is much-loved by kids. Ensure that you make it with good quality whole wheat flour so it is healthy and satiating for your kids.
