Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Wholewheat flour
- 0.5 cups Chickpea flour (besan)
- 0.25 cups Plain plant-based protein powder (unflavored)
- 2 tablespoons Ground flaxseed
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.75 cups Warm water
- 1 teaspoons Olive oil
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine wholewheat flour, chickpea flour (besan), plant-based protein powder, ground flaxseed, and salt. Mix well to ensure even distribution of the ingredients.
Gradually add the warm water to the dry ingredients while mixing. Use your hands to knead the dough once it begins to come together.
Add the olive oil and continue kneading the dough for about 8-10 minutes until it is smooth and elastic. If the dough feels sticky, sprinkle in a little more wholewheat flour, one tablespoon at a time.
Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 15 minutes to allow the gluten to develop.
Divide the dough into 6 equal portions and roll each portion into a ball.
Dust a clean surface with a small amount of wholewheat flour. Using a rolling pin, flatten one dough ball into a circle about 6-7 inches in diameter.
Heat a non-stick skillet or flat griddle over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the rolled-out chapati onto the skillet.
Cook for 30-40 seconds until bubbles begin to form. Flip the chapati and cook for another 30-40 seconds, pressing lightly with a spatula to encourage even cooking.
Flip once more and cook for an additional 10-15 seconds. The chapati should puff up slightly, indicating it is fully cooked.
Remove the chapati from the skillet and set aside. Repeat with the remaining dough balls.
Serve warm with your favorite protein-rich curry, lentils, or yogurt for a complete high-protein meal.
