    Title: Chapati (Indian Flat Bread)
    Categories: Breads, Indian
    Yield: 2 Servings

    1 c Whole wheat flour
    1/4 ts Salt
    1 tb Ghee
    1/3 c Water

    To the flour add salt and ghee and mix well. Add sufficient water to
    make a soft, pliable dough. Knead until elastic. Allow to rest
    15 minutes or more.

    Divide dough into 8 equal parts. Roll into small balls and, using a
    rolling pin, flatten out into circles about 4 to 5" in diameter.
    Before rolling into circles, flatten between hands and dip in flour
    to prevent sticking to rolling pin. With each chapati, cook one side
    on a hot frying pan, then turn and half cook the other side. Finally
    hold it directly over a burner flame and allow to puff. Tongs can be
    used to old the chapati. There is a special implement for this sold
    in Indian shops. Keep chapatis covered as others are being made.
    Brush upper side with ghee to prevent sticking together in the stack.
    Chapati and parathas is often made for dinner, served with potato
    curries or dals.
