Chapati

All ingredients should be allowed to come to room temperature if they have been in the refrigerator. Mix flour and salt in a bowl. Slowly mix in enough water to make a thick dough. Mix in one spoonful oil. Knead dough on a cool surface for a few minutes, adding a few spoonfuls of dry flour. Return dough to the bowl, cover with a clean cloth, and let it rest for thirty minutes.

Lightly grease (with cooking oil) and pre-heat a skillet or griddle.

Divide the dough into about a dozen equal-sized dough balls. Allow dough balls to rest a couple minutes. Use a rolling pin to flatten them into discs, at least 6 inches across. Fry them in the skillet or griddle, turning once, until each side is hot and brown-spotted.

Cover the finished chapatis and place them in a warm oven until they are all done.

Serve with butter, and any curry, soup, or stew.
