4. CHAPATI: INSTRUCTIONS
• In a large bowl, add flour together with carrots, onions, green pepper and 6
tea spoons of oil. Adding a little bit of water at a time, mix the ingredients
together to form dough. Knead the dough for 10 minutes or until it does not
stick to your hands. The secret to really soft Chapatis lies in the kneading. The
dough must be smooth and just the right softness.

5. CHAPATI: INSTRUCTIONS
• Divide the dough into equal portions, roughly the size of a golf ball. Roll
between your palms, applying a gentle pressure, till the balls are smooth and
without cracks. Once completed, lightly brush each piece of dough with oil
and then sprinkle a pinch of flour on top.

6. CHAPATI: INSTRUCTIONS
• Sprinkle flour over the bench where you will be rolling the chapattis out. Use
your rolling pin to push the dough into round flat circles about 5 inches wide.
Flip the dough as you roll and make sure you add flour if it is sticking to the
bench or the rolling pin.

7. CHAPATI: INSTRUCTIONS
• Heat a pan on a medium flame and put one tablespoon of oil in the pan. Put the rolled out Chapati on it to
cook. Use your hands to stretch the chapatti to the width of the pan so that the chapatti is as thin as
possible. Take a spatula Slowly press down on the chapati and then flip it.
• Note: The Chapati is ready for its first flip when you begin to see raised bumps on its surface. Use a spatula to
turn it on to its other side.
