whole wheat flour

🥗Healthier: spelt flour

💰Cheaper: all-purpose flour

Spelt flour is nutritious while all-purpose flour is more accessible.

ghee

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: butter

Olive oil is healthier while butter is often cheaper.

Mix wheat flour and salt in a bowl.

Gradually add water to the flour mixture, stirring until a dough forms.

Knead the dough on a floured surface until smooth, about 5-7 minutes.

Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 20-30 minutes.

Divide the dough into small balls, about the size of a golf ball.

Flatten each ball slightly and dust with flour.

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

Heat a skillet over medium-high heat until hot.

Cook the rolled chapati on the skillet until bubbles form, about 30 seconds.

Flip the chapati and cook until golden brown, about 30 seconds more.

Press gently with a cloth to puff the chapati, if desired.

Remove from skillet and brush with cooking oil, if using.
