How to Make Soft Chapati's/ Phulkas without Oil

I have been getting lots of request for making soft chapati's without oil and here is the technique.

Trust me I never made chapati at home before marriage , Where it was a must to make chapati's daily as we are Marwaris and there is no day without chapati.

But after marriage as we were in Mumbai, My husband used to take chapati daily for lunch and my practise began from there.

Now everyone at home loves the chapati's I make ........ The first request of my family and relatives is:::::: Kajal will you make chapati's tonight for dinner.....  And how can I say Nooo

Here it is with pictures:

Ingredients:

1. Wheat Flour              1 cup

2. Salt                             a pinch

3. Normal Water          1/4 cup or less depends on the flour

Method:

1. Take a bowl add in the flour and salt . Knead it into a soft dough using water.

2. When ever you knead the dough be careful while you add water. Add water little by little. Dont make the dough too sticky. Knead the dough 15 mins before you want to make them. Once you have the dough ready sprinkle few drops of water on the dough and cover it with a plate. Leave it aside for 15-20 mins.

3. Now as usual take a small part of the dough roll it into a round chapati.( sorry I dont have the pictures of the dough). Use less dry wheat flour when you make the chapati.

4. Heat the tava. See to it , it is hot enough. Place the Chapati on the tava . So the top side which you can see is the first side. Given below is the picture...( Flame high)

5. Turn the chapati to the other side when it is half cooked like this:( Flame High)

This is your second side

6. Now the other side is half cooked like this , flip it to the other side lower ( Flame Low) , take a clean cloth gently press the corners of the chapati . If everything is perfectly done at this stage your chapati will raise like a puri...

7. Take it out and apply oil or ghee as required.
