Wheat flour -250gms
Oil 2tspoon

Oil for shallow frying on tava

- Keep it in a bowl,close the lid for about 15 minutes.
- Take a big lemon size dough, roll it flatten, fold twice to make it to shape of almost triangle.Making folds helps in getting nice layers to the chapathi.
- With the dusting of wheat flour roll it in to flat, thin and round chapathi using a rolling pin.
- On a medium high flame,heat the Tava, Place the Chapathi , add 1/2tspoon of oil on both sides and Cook it on both sides. Note: one side of chapathi should be cooked once, again and again turning around and cooking makes chapathi very hard.
