baking powder

Baking powder helps achieve fluffiness.

In a large bowl, combine the plain wheat flour, salt, and sugar.

Add the cooking oil and mix well.

Gradually add warm water, mixing until a soft dough forms.

Knead the dough for a few minutes until smooth.

Cover the dough and let it rest for about 30 minutes.

Divide the dough into equal portions and roll each portion into a ball.

Flatten each ball and roll it out into a thin circle.

Cook each chapati on a hot skillet until golden brown on both sides, brushing with oil as needed.
