Instructions

1. 1
   Knead together the flour and water, starting with only a slight dribble of water and adding more as you go until the dough becomes smooth but not too sticky.
2. 2
   Cover dough, and let rest for at least 5 minutes.
3. 3
   Divide dough into balls and roll out into disks, slightly thicker than denim material; sprinkle with flour as you roll.
4. 4
   Place a non-oiled pan over moderately high heat and test its surface temperature by holding your hand over it.
5. 5
   When very hot, put a chapati on the pan and press it flat with a spatula or dry cloth to make it rise up.
6. 6
   Flip and repeat so it becomes lightly browned on both sides.
7. 7
   If desired, brush with ghee.
