Chapatti

Ingredients:
1lb White Flour
Quarter Teaspoon Salt
6 oz Water (Approximately)
5 oz Vegetable Oil


Cooking Instructions:
1.      Sift flour into a bowl, pour water and mix to make a firm dough.
2.      Knead dough on a hard surface until smooth.
3.      Divide the dough into 4 - 5 pieces ( like a small size orange).
4.      With a rolling-pin roll each piece flat on a floured surface into a 6.5 inches or more (should be very thin)
5.      Apply the oil evenly on chapatti.
6.      Cut the thin flat dough in the middle to have 2 halves (that will make 2 pieces of chapatti).
7.      Then fold each cut piece separately to make a tennis-ball size dough or smaller.
8.      Roll the tennis size ball dough again into a small round piece (flat but this time not very thin). It’s now ready for frying.
9.      Now heat the frying pan until hot at first, then once you start frying you can reduce heat so the chapattis won’t burn.
10.  Put the piece onto the frying pan. (At the same time roll the next piece so that when one is done you are ready to add another piece).
11.  Turn the piece of chapatti around when it’s a bit brown.
12.  Once both sides are a bit brown, add a table spoon vegetable and keep turning until both sides are golden brown
