Mastering The Art Of Soft And Fluffy Chapati

 

 

I recently cracked the secret of making soft,fluffy chapati on tawa. I thought of sharing this step- by- step method.Now I relish tender,fluffy and airy chapatis at home every day.Always use good quality wheat flour,as this is key ingredient for achieving perfect chapati.Because some brands adulterate it with maida flour,which makes the chapati chewy. 

 

PROCEDURE

 

1. In a bowl take wheat flour,salt and sprinkle water and mix to bread crumble consistency.

 

2. Now sprinkle water slowly and knead to soft dough consistency.Press your finger on the dough to ensure the softness.

 

3.Cover the dough and set it aside for twenty-thirty minutes.

 

4.Now pinch the dough and make a ball out of it.Flatten it on the chapati stone and dust some flour and flatten it using a rolling pin.

 

5.Apply oil on the surface evenly. Now close the rolled chapati to a shape of semi circle.

 

6.Apply oil again on the surface and fold it to a shape of triangle.

 

7.Dust some flour on the triangle shaped dough and roll it gently to a perfect circle. 

 

8. Heat tawa and when it is very hot transfer the rolled chapati to it .Now gradually reduce the heat and apply pressure on the chapati using ladle or a cloth.The pressure will make the chapati fluff.

 

9. This step is vital for the fluffy texture.

 

10. Now arrange the chapatis on a plate.You don't have to apply oil again on the cooked chapatis.
