Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Whole wheat flour
- 1 scoop Plant-based protein powder (unflavored)
- 0.5 cup Chickpea flour (besan)
- 2 tablespoons Ground flaxseed
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Warm water
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil (optional, for softer chapatis)
- 0.25 cup Extra whole wheat flour (for rolling)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour, plant-based protein powder, chickpea flour, ground flaxseed, and salt. Mix well to evenly distribute the ingredients.
If using, add olive oil and mix it into the dry ingredients.
Gradually add warm water, a little at a time, while mixing the dough with your hand or a spoon. Knead until the dough is smooth, soft, and pliable, but not sticky. If the dough feels too dry, add a tablespoon of water at a time until it comes together. If it's too sticky, sprinkle in a little extra flour.
Cover the dough with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let it rest for 15 minutes to allow the gluten to develop.
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and roll each portion into a smooth ball.
Dust your rolling surface and rolling pin with a small amount of whole wheat flour. Flatten a dough ball and roll it out into a thin, round circle (approximately 6-7 inches in diameter). Repeat with the remaining dough balls.
Heat a tawa, flat skillet, or non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, place a rolled-out chapati onto the pan.
Cook the chapati for 30-45 seconds, or until bubbles start to form. Flip it over and cook the other side for another 30-45 seconds, pressing gently with a spatula or a clean kitchen towel to encourage puffing.
Flip it one last time and cook for an additional 10-20 seconds until golden spots appear. Remove the chapati from the pan and place it in a clean towel-lined basket or plate to keep warm.
Repeat the cooking process with the remaining rolled-out chapatis.
Serve warm with your favorite curry, dal, or vegetables for a delicious, protein-packed meal.
