Chapatis

Chapatis


1. Sift the flour and salt into a large bowl and make a hollow in the centre.

2. Add the water gradually, working in the flour to make a firm dough.

3. Knead well for about 15 minutes, until the dough is smooth.

4. Cover with a damp cloth and leave to stand for about 30 minutes.

5. The dough should be quite firm and hard.

6. Divide the dough into eight portions.

7. Roll each into a circle, about 15 cm (6 inch) in diameter, sprinkling the rolling pin and work surface with flour to prevent sticking.

8. Cook each chapati in a very hot heavy frying pan, without fat.

9. When the top surface shows signs of bubbling, turn the chapati over and cook for 30-40 seconds on the other side.

10. Then place the chapati under a warm grill until it puffs up.

11. Spread margarine lightly on one side, fold over and serve hot.
