In a large mixing bowl, combine the cassava flour and salt, and mix well.
Pour in the warm water and melted coconut oil into the dry ingredients.
Stir the mixture with a wooden spoon or clean hands until a dough forms and comes together.
Transfer the dough onto a clean, flat surface and knead it for about 3 to 4 minutes until smooth. If the dough is too sticky, sprinkle a little more cassava flour as needed.
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and roll each piece into a ball.
Using a rolling pin, flatten each ball into a disk about 6 inches in diameter. To prevent sticking, you can dust the rolling surface and rolling pin with a little cassava flour.
Heat a non-stick skillet or cast-iron pan over medium heat.
Once the pan is hot, place one rolled dough disc onto the pan. Cook for about 1 to 2 minutes or until you see small bubbles forming on the surface.
Flip the chapati and cook the other side for another 1 to 2 minutes, or until both sides have golden brown spots.
Repeat the process with the remaining dough balls.
Once cooked, keep the chapatis warm in a clean kitchen towel until ready to serve.
