Plain Roti (Chapati)
Ingredients:
3 cups flour
1 tbsp oil
1 tsp salt
1 1/2 cup water
frying pan or tava
ghee
Method: Put flour, salt in a mixing bowl, start adding water and knead until soft dough( like pizza dough). Add extra water or flour if needed. Make equal parts and shape them like balls.
Take a dough ball and rolling pin and start rolling on a clean, dry, plain surface. Dust some flour for ease. Make a thick 4 inch diameter chapati, put some oil on it and spread equally. Then fold it diagonally, again put few drops of oil and spread. Now fold it quarterly to make a triangle shape. Dust some flour and start rolling till it becomes 6-7 inch in diameter.(not very thick not very thin) Put frying pan on high heat and fry the roti. Wait 5 seconds till bubble shapes appear on the surface, then turn it, and put few drops of oil on the fried side, and spread. Then after 10 seconds turn it over again and put oil on the other side and wait at least 10 seconds and turn it back and make sure the roti gets nice brown spots on both sides. Now remove from heat and put some ghee on it. Do the rests same. Serve them hot with your favorite curry or vegetable.
