Chapati is a type of unleavened bread typical of India and Pakistan, but it is very popular in Ecuador due to the influence of Hindu cuisine in the country. It is prepared with whole wheat flour, salt, oil, and water, kneaded until a smooth dough is achieved and then left to rest. Balls are formed, rolled thin, and cooked on a griddle. A touch of oil at the end adds a special flavor. It is versatile and delicious. Give it a try.
In a bowl, mix the whole wheat flour, salt, and oil.
Begin kneading the mixture, gradually adding water until you get a smooth dough that doesn’t stick to your fingers.
Then, cover the dough with a cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.
