Chapati Indian flatbreads on water

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to make chapati — Indian flatbreads on water? Prepare the products. They will need quite a bit — two types of flour, rye and wheat, water and salt. The water needs to be warm, so boil in advance and cool half a glass a little.

2. Step 2:

   

   Take a large convenient bowl in which you will knead the dough. Sift wheat flour into it first, and then rye flour. Do not skip this step, sifting will not only remove possible debris, but also make flour products of higher quality.

3. Step 3:

   

   Add salt and mix the dry ingredients so that the salt spreads evenly. Make a small hole in the flour mixture.

4. Step 4:

   

   Pour warm water into it in small portions. Knead a soft and pliable dough. Since the flour is very different in quality, more or less water may be required for kneading, so focus on the consistency of the dough.

5. Step 5:

   

   You don't need to knead it for a long time, it will be enough just to assemble the dough into a ball and mix it straight in a bowl for a few minutes. Cover the finished dough with a damp towel and leave for 10-15 minutes, it should rest a little. During this time, the flour will absorb all the liquid and the dough will become more elastic.

6. Step 6:

   

   Divide the rested dough into 6-8 parts (I advise you to divide by 6, then the tortillas turn out to be about 20-22 cm in diameter).

8. Step 7:

   

   Roll out each part into a tortilla about 2 mm thick. To prevent the dough from sticking, lightly sprinkle the work surface with flour.

9. Step 8:

   

   Preheat the pan over moderate heat. Place the tortilla in a dry frying pan. As soon as the tortilla is slightly browned from below and begins to bubble, turn it over to the other side.

10. Step 9:

    

    And fry it for just 1 more minute. Cakes are baked fast enough, so be careful not to overdo them, otherwise they will dry out and become brittle.

11. Step 10:

    

    Put the finished tortilla on a board or plate and brush with melted butter on top (for the lean version, you can not lubricate or lubricate with vegetable oil at all). Thanks to the oil, the tortillas become more tender. Cover the hot tortillas with a slightly damp towel on top so that they do not dry out or transfer them to a container with a lid.

12. Step 11:

    

    Fry all the tortillas in this way.

13. Step 12:

    

    Indian Chapati cakes are ready. It is best to serve them still warm. Bon appetit!
