Easy Homemade Chapati/Indian Flatbread (Vegan)
Chapati is an easy and healthy, whole wheat Indian flatbread to make at home! All you need is 3 ingredients and less than 15 minutes. It pairs wonderfully with curry, and you can even enjoy it as a wrap.
Ingredients
- ⅔ cup (80g) atta flour sifted
- ⅛ tsp salt
- ½ tbsp (5g) coconut oil optional
- ⅓ cup (80g) water boiling
- all-purpose flour for dusting
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine atta flour, salt and (optional) coconut oil. Pour in boiling water and mix with a spatula.
- Pour the contents out on to a floured working surface and knead until a soft dough forms. Divide the dough into 4 round balls (40g each).
- With a small rolling pin, roll out the dough into 6 inch rounds. Dust with flour whenever it starts to stick.
- Heat a pan to medium heat. Once it's hot, cook the chapati for 1 minute, or until lightly browned. Flip and repeat on the other side.
- Enjoy together with your favourite curries, dip in sauces or use it like a wrap.
Notes
Chapati dough can be kept in the fridge for a few days. Let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before rolling it out and cooking. Alternatively, you can keep cooked chapati in the fridge/freezer and reheat them whenever needed.
