Gluten-free, low-fat, and utterly delicious, this recipe is a must-try for anyone seeking healthier bread alternatives.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free sorghum flour, gluten-free tapioca flour, psyllium husk powder, and salt.
Gradually add the water to the flour mixture, stirring continuously with a wooden spoon until a dough begins to form.
Knead the dough gently with your hands for about 5 minutes until smooth and pliable. If the dough is too sticky, add a bit more sorghum flour.
Divide the dough into 8 equal parts and roll each piece into a ball.
Preheat a non-stick skillet or chapati tawa over medium-high heat and lightly grease with a cooking spray.
Place a piece of parchment paper on a flat surface. Flatten one dough ball slightly, then place another piece of parchment paper on top. Roll the dough out into a thin circle, approximately 6 inches in diameter.
Carefully peel away the top parchment paper and flip the chapati onto your hand and remove the other parchment layer.
Transfer the rolled-out chapati to the heated skillet. Cook for about 1-2 minutes until small bubbles start to form on the surface.
Flip the chapati and cook the other side for another 1-2 minutes until lightly browned and cooked through.
Repeat with the remaining dough balls. Serve warm with your favorite curry or accompaniment.
