Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Whole wheat flour
- 0.5 cup Ragi flour (finger millet flour)
- 0.5 cup Barley flour
- 0.25 cup Quinoa flour
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Water
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
- Flour for dusting
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, ragi flour, barley flour, and quinoa flour.
Add the salt and mix well to ensure it is evenly distributed among the flours.
Gradually add water little by little to the flour mixture, using your hands to mix and knead until it forms a smooth, soft dough. You may need to adjust the amount of water slightly depending on the flours.
Once the dough is combined, add the olive oil and knead it into the dough for about 5 minutes. This will make the dough smoother.
Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for about 15 minutes. This helps the dough to become more pliable.
After resting, divide the dough into 6 equal portions and shape them into smooth balls.
Lightly flour a clean surface. Take one dough ball, flatten it slightly, and roll it out into a circle about 6-7 inches in diameter. Keep the remaining dough balls covered to prevent them from drying out.
Preheat a tawa or flat skillet over medium heat. Once hot, place the rolled out chapati onto the tawa.
Cook for about 30 seconds or until you see small bubbles appearing on the surface. Flip the chapati over.
Cook the other side for about 30-45 seconds or until you see brown spots. Flip it again and cook for another 15 seconds while pressing it gently with a spatula to puff up the chapati.
Remove from the tawa and set aside in a covered container to keep it warm. Repeat the process with the remaining dough balls.
Serve warm mixed grain chapatis with your favorite curry or side dish.
