FEW TIPS TO MAKE SOFT CHAPTHIES :

  • Too hard tight dough will make it difficult to roll.. and chapathi will be hard.
  • You can prepare the dough in correct form..
  • Resting dough for 20 - 30 mins to make a soft chapathi.
  • Knead the dough well with your knuckles before making balls..
  • Keep the prepared balls covered till your ready to roll them..
  • While rolling the circles, remember to roll the side thinner than the centre..
  • This helps in puffing up the chapathi while cooking..
  • Maintain the heat medium, where your chapathi to puffs up and get light brown spots..
