Ingredients 4 cups all-purpose flour or whole wheat/attamark flour Sea salt Black pepper Sugar Sunflower oil or vegetable oil Instructions
1. Sift 4 cups of all purpose flour or whole wheat/attamark flour (it makes soft chapatis too using this recipe)
2. Season with sea salt, black pepper and a little sugar (Optional)
3. Add 3 tablespoons of sunflower oil or vegetable oil and then the hot water 12
4. Stir with a spoon as the water will make the oil really hot, for about 1 minute and then start kneading
5. Knead for about 7 minutes adjusting the flour or water as you are looking for a moderately soft dough, not too soft though.
6. Cover and leave to sit for at least 30 minutes but ideally 4 -5 hours for the best flavor and texture.
7. Flour the surface and roll them thin while heating your pan medium heat with some oil
8. Cook each side without touching, for about 4 minutes per side.
9. Put in a brown paper bag and leave inside the hot pot to finish cooking with the steam which makes them taste great, about 20 minutes more.
