Soft Chapati|Flatbread || How to make Soft Chapatis with step-by-step photos
Soft Chapati is also known as roti or phulka. Chapatis are made from a soft dough comprising atta flour, salt, oil, and water. Atta is made from wheat(Gundam) here. I will share with you some tips for soft chapatis from the soft dough, the most important part of the meal of every Pakistani/Indian household.
It is served with almost every gravy and curry possible, making the meal wholesome. Go ahead, check out the easy steps given below, and make these delicious, warm, and soft chapatis in no time. These chapatis are no-fuss food. However, the best thing about Roti/ Chapati is that it is high in nutrition and can be tweaked as per palate preference.
If you are someone who loves the richness of Ghee, then you can add some ghee while kneading the dough, and with a pinch of salt, this adds a nice aroma and taste to the Chapatis.
This simple Pakistani bread is a far healthier option than Naan, Puri, and Bhatura simply because you do not need oil or ghee to prepare this recipe. It is good for people planning to shed some weight and who are following a low-fat diet, as it is prepared without using oil.
Serve the warm chapatis on several occasions, like kitty parties, game nights, potlucks, and many other occasions, along with any main dish, and make it all the more charming. Also, don't forget to share the recipe with all of your friends living abroad, so it reminds them of their country every time they make it.
Tips for Soft Chapatis:
- Add flour slowly to the water and knead it to a soft dough.
- Knead the dough for at least 3 to 5 minutes.
- Rest the dough for a minimum of 15 minutes and a maximum of 1 hour.
- Roll the chapatis a little thin, but not too thin or too thick.
- Heat the Tawa really well before putting the chapati in.
- Flip it just twice, don't keep on flipping over.
- Once the chapati is cooked, remove it to a plate, spread some ghee or oil over it, and store it in a hot case.
Take water and salt in a bowl, mix well, add wheat flour, then further mix them together. Now knead this into a soft dough
Add more flour as needed
Knead it for 3-5 minutes, then cover it with a wet kitchen towel and rest it for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, knead the dough for about 5 minutes more. Now it gets extremely soft
Now, drizzle some drops of oil over the dough and apply it all over the dough. Put it back into the bowl and cover it with a plastic cover. Keep aside for 30 minutes.
Divide the dough into equal portions, make smooth balls, and flatten them between your palms. Roll into 4 diameters, keeping the edges thinner than the center. Put it on a hot Tawa, and cook it for a few seconds.
Now flip over again and cook for a few more bubbles on top till it puffs. Now remove and place in the hot pot. You can drizzle some drops of oil/ghee over chapati. You repeat the same process with all remaining dough balls
