This traditional Indian flatbread is soft, chewy, and perfect for scooping up curries or vegetables. Cooked quickly on a hot skillet, chapatis puff up slightly, creating light layers inside. Best served warm, they’re a staple in many South Asian homes. Chapati is a versatile staple; try topping it with peanut butter and jam or Nutella for a sweet treat!

Ingredients (for 4-6 pieces):

• 2 cups whole wheat flour
• ½ tsp salt
• ¾ cup water (adjust as needed)

Instructions:

1. Mix flour and salt in a bowl. Gradually add water until a soft dough forms.
2. Knead for 5–7 min. until smooth, then cover and let rest 30 min.
3. Divide into 8 balls, roll each into a thin circle.
4. Cook on a hot skillet at medium-high heat for 1 min per side, pressing gently until puffed.
