  • Divide the dough into rounds of required quantity, depending on the size of the chapathi you want to make.
  • Roll out the rounds into flat discs with the help of a little wheat flour and put it on a heated griddle.
  • When you see a few tiny bubbles on the chapathi, turn it over on the other side on the griddle.
  • Once again when you see small bubbles on it, Take the chapathi off the griddle.
  • Instantly put it on the open flame with tongs and watch it fluff up like a balloon
  • Flip it onto the other side and when light brown spots appear onit, take off fire and have it hot with a curry of your choice.
