Ingredients: - 2 cups all-purpose flour - 1 cup warm water - 1 tbsp vegetable oil - 1/2 tsp salt
Instructions: 1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. 2. Slowly add the warm water and oil to the flour mixture, mixing well until a dough forms. 3. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes, or until it becomes smooth and elastic. 4. Divide the dough into small balls, about the size of a golf ball. 5. Roll out each ball into a thin circle, using a rolling pin and some flour to prevent sticking. 6. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. 7. Place the rolled out chapati on the skillet and cook for about 1-2 minutes on each side, or until golden brown spots appear. 8. Remove from heat and serve hot with your favorite curry or side dish.

Ingredients:
- 2 cups (250g) plain flour, plus extra for dusting - 1 teaspoon (5ml) salt - 1/2 cup (125ml) water, plus more if needed
Instructions:
1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. 2. Gradually add the water, stirring until a dough forms. The dough should be soft and pliable, but not sticky. If it's too sticky, add more flour 1 tablespoon (15ml) at a time until the desired consistency is reached. If it's too dry, add more water 1 tablespoon (15ml) at a time until the desired consistency is reached. 3. Knead the dough for 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. 4. Divide the dough into 8-10 equal portions and roll each portion into a ball. 5. Cover the dough balls with a damp cloth and let them rest for 15-20 minutes. 6. On a lightly floured surface, roll out each dough ball into a thin circle, about 8 inches (20cm) in diameter. 7. Heat a griddle or frying pan over medium heat. 8. Place a chapati on the hot griddle and cook for 1-2 minutes per side, or until the chapati is puffed up and golden brown. 9. Repeat with the remaining dough balls. 10. Serve the chapatis hot with your favorite curry or side dish.
Tips:
- For softer chapatis, add 1 tablespoon of ghee or oil to the dough while kneading. - To prevent the chapatis from sticking, heat the griddle or frying pan to medium-high heat before adding the chapatis. - If the chapatis are too thick, they will not puff up properly. Roll them out as thinly as possible without tearing the dough. - If the chapatis are burning too quickly, reduce the heat to medium-low.
