Mix whole wheat flour, salt, and baking powder in a bowl.

Add water gradually and knead until a smooth dough forms.

Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.

Divide the dough into equal portions and shape each into a ball.

Roll out each ball into a flat circle on a floured surface.

Heat a skillet over medium heat until hot.

Place the rolled dough onto the skillet and cook until bubbles form, about 2 minutes.

Flip the bread and cook the other side until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes.

Brush with ghee or oil while cooking for added flavor.

Repeat with remaining dough portions, keeping cooked bread warm in a towel.

Serve hot with curries or chutneys.
