We make these chapatis for dinner almost every other night. My parents and kids love them. The chapatis are crunchy on the outside, soft and flaky on the inside. Give it a try and see!
Yields 8 chapatis
Ingredients:
2 cups whole wheat flour
1 cup warm water, maybe a 2 teaspoons less if you like the dough firm
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons ghee
Extra ghee for filling
