Discover the magic of homemade gluten-free wholewheat chapati—a wholesome, soft, and versatile flatbread perfect for anyone following a gluten-free diet. This recipe swaps traditional wholewheat flour with a carefully crafted gluten-free flour blend, enhanced by psyllium husk powder for elasticity and structure. With minimal prep time, kneading, and resting, these chapatis are easy to make and burst with earthy, comforting flavors. Lightly browned and beautifully pliable, they pair perfectly with curries, dips, or roasted vegetables, offering an authentic yet allergen-friendly twist on classic Indian bread. Whether you're seeking a gluten-free solution or simply expanding your culinary horizons, this recipe is a delicious addition to your repertoire.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free wholewheat flour blend, psyllium husk powder, and salt. Mix well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
Gradually add the warm water to the dry ingredients, mixing continuously to form a soft dough. Adjust the water as needed to ensure the dough is pliable but not sticky.
Add the olive oil to the dough and knead for 2-3 minutes until smooth. Let the dough rest for 10 minutes to allow the psyllium husk to fully hydrate.
Divide the dough into 6 equal portions and roll each portion into a ball.
Lightly dust a clean surface with additional gluten-free flour. Using a rolling pin, roll each dough ball into a thin, circular chapati, approximately 6 inches in diameter.
Heat a non-stick skillet or tawa over medium heat. Place one rolled-out chapati onto the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes until bubbles form and the underside develops golden-brown spots.
Flip the chapati and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fully cooked and lightly browned in spots.
Repeat the process with the remaining dough portions. Keep the cooked chapatis warm in a clean kitchen towel until ready to serve.
Serve the gluten-free wholewheat chapatis warm with your favorite curry, dip, or vegetables.
