Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Whole wheat flour
- 0.5 cups Chickpea flour
- 0.5 cups Plain unsweetened protein powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 cups Water
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, chickpea flour, protein powder, and salt. Mix well until the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
Make a well in the center of the dry mixture. Gradually add water and olive oil to the flour mixture while mixing it with your hands or a wooden spoon.
Continue to mix until a rough dough begins to form. Knead the dough in the bowl or on a lightly floured surface for about 6-8 minutes, until it is smooth and elastic.
Cover the dough with a damp cloth or plastic wrap and let it rest for about 15-20 minutes. This will make the dough easier to roll and improve the texture of the chapatis.
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and shape them into balls. Keep the dough balls covered until you are ready to roll them.
Heat a non-stick skillet or a cast iron pan over medium-high heat.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out one dough ball into a thin circle, about 6-7 inches in diameter or as desired.
Carefully place the rolled-out dough on the hot skillet. Let it cook for about 30-40 seconds or until you see bubbles forming on the surface.
Flip the chapati using a spatula, and let the other side cook for an additional 30 seconds. You may press gently with the spatula for more even cooking.
Once both sides are lightly browned, remove the chapati from the skillet and place it in a cloth-lined container to keep warm.
Repeat the rolling and cooking process for the remaining dough balls.
Serve the chapatis warm as a side to your favorite dishes.
