Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Whole wheat flour
- 0.5 cup Chickpea flour
- 0.25 cup Quinoa flour
- 0.25 cup Whey protein powder
- 2 tablespoons Ground flaxseeds
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Water
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.25 cup Extra whole wheat flour (for dusting)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, chickpea flour, quinoa flour, whey protein powder, ground flaxseeds, and salt. Mix well to ensure all dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
Add the olive oil and gradually mix in the water. Start kneading the dough until it comes together and starts becoming smooth. This should take about 6-8 minutes.
Cover the bowl with a damp cloth or plastic wrap and let the dough rest for at least 15 minutes. This resting period helps the dough to become more pliable.
After resting, divide the dough into 8 equal portions and shape each portion into a ball.
Using a rolling pin, roll out each ball on a lightly floured surface (using the extra whole wheat flour for dusting) to a round shape, roughly 5-6 inches in diameter.
Heat a non-stick skillet or tava over medium heat. Once hot, place a rolled chapati onto the skillet.
Cook for about 1-2 minutes on one side or until bubbles start to appear. Flip the chapati using a spatula and cook the other side until golden brown spots appear.
Optionally, you can press the chapati lightly with a clean kitchen towel for it to puff up.
Remove the chapati from the skillet and keep warm in a covered container or wrap in a clean dry towel.
Repeat the cooking process with the remaining dough balls.
Serve the chapatis warm with your choice of curry or vegetable dish for a complete high-protein meal.
