Ingredients

Directions

Step #1 Put flour into bowl & rub butter/margarine into it.
Step #2 Add half of the water & stir this to mix.
Step #3 Add the remaining water slowly, stirring until all of the flour is hydrated.
Step #4 Knead for approximately 3 mins (be careful, the dough may be hot from the water).
Step #5 The dough will spring back slightly when pressed & may be slightly sticky.
Step #6 Leave covered for 30 mins (approx).
Step #7 Divide into small balls (about half the size of a tennis ball) & dip into extra flour.
Step #8 Press carefully in your hand until slightly flattened into a disc.
Step #9 Roll with a rolling pin into thin round pancakes.
Step #10 Heat a heavy based frying pan (I used a cast iron one).
Step #11 Put the chapati onto the pan & cook this until small blisters appear.
Step #12 Turn & cook on the other side (they may puff up, don't worry).
Step #13 Remove from the heat & wrap in a clean tea towel until ready to serve.
