Chapaties
1 C. whole wheat or Chapati flour
tap water, enough to make soft dough
l pinch salt
Take a cup of whole wheat flour {Indian chapati flour is the best) and mix it with tap water and a pinch of salt, till it becomes a soft dough. Knead it well so the Chapaties will puff up. Take a small piece of dough about the size of a plum, and make it round by rolling between both palms. Smear it with some dry flour, and roll it out into a round shape with a rolling pin; place it on a heated iron plate. Turn it over when it has developed a "skin" on the side touching the plate. When both sides have skins, put it directly over heat; when it is cooked a little it should puff up, but sometimes it won't. Smear some butter on the surface of the Chapiti and offer it to the Lord.
Usually, one should not make a habit of eating bread that is mixed with yeast, because, in herbal science, yeast is said to be not very healthy. But the chapati is recommended as fit and healthy for everyone.
