ghee

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: butter

Olive oil is healthier, while butter is often less expensive.

Measure 6 cups of all-purpose flour and add to a bowl.

Add 1 tablespoon of salt and 1 tablespoon of sugar, then whisk together.

Gradually add about 4 cups of warm water, mixing until the dough comes together.

Knead the dough until smooth, adding more flour as needed to prevent stickiness.

Let the dough rest for 5 to 10 minutes.

Cut the dough into golf ball-sized pieces and roll them into balls.

Dust a surface with flour and flatten each ball into an oval shape.

Spread vegetable oil on the flattened dough and dust with flour.

Roll the dough like a cinnamon roll to create layers.

Preheat a pan for cooking the chapatis.

Roll out each ball into a thin circle, dusting with flour as needed to prevent sticking.

Cook the chapati in the preheated pan until bubbles form, about 30 seconds.

Flip the chapati and cook until fully cooked, adding a little oil if desired.

Remove from the pan and cover with a kitchen towel to keep warm.
