Simple Roti / Chapati

1 1/2 cup atta flour

2 tbsp oil
1 tsp salt
water with a bit of milk, warmed up

Knead the dough together until soft. Remember, atta flour will take up more water than normal white flour. So make sure you put in enough water and knead it as long as you can for a lovely soft and smooth dough. Apply a bit of oil on it, cover and set aside for an hour or so to soften further.

Divide the dough into 9-10 pieces. (I make 9 but if you like them a bit smaller then do 10). Form each piece of dough into a nice smooth ball.

Once all are rolled out, heat a tava/flat chapati pan, and once it's hot place your first roti on it

Once all are rolled out, heat a tava/flat chapati pan, and once it's hot place your first roti on it. Leave it for half a minute or until you see it start forming some bubbles, then turn it over and dab a tiny bit of oil on it and turn again. Peep and check that the bottom is nicely coloured, turn it over for the other side to get done too and place a second roti on top of it. This helps protect the almost-cooked roti from drying out on the tava. Once done, turn the rotis so that the cooked one is now on top and the new one is on the tava. Remove the cooked one and place it in a hot pot, keep it covered.

It takes about a minute to cook each roti so do not over-cook them otherwise they will dry out, you have to do this fast at a moderate heat so that they don't burn nor dry out.
