Ingredients

1 cup whole wheat flour (gehun ka atta)
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp oil
whole wheat flour (gehun ka atta) for rolling

Method

Combine the flour and salt and knead into a soft and pliable dough.
Add the oil and knead again till it is smooth and elastic. Cover and keep aside for 10 to 15 minutes.
Divide the dough into 6 equal parts. Roll out each one using a little flour into approx. 150 mm. (6") diameter circles. Dust dry flour as required to facilitate even rolling.
Dust off any excess dry flour and place the chapatti on a hot tava.
Turn over in a few seconds and cook this side till the edges begin to curl slightly and small blisters appear on the surface. Cook the other side for a few more seconds.
Repeat to make 5 more half cooked chapattis. Keep aside and use as required.
If you want to cook these chapattis, just roast them for a little longer on both sides and serve hot with vegetable of your choice.
