In my quest to try and live healthy, I want to try out wholewheat foods. And since Chapati (flat bread) is one of my very favorite dishes to eat, I thought this time I would make Wholewheat Chapatis. Chapati making is a skill that needs lots of practice just like any other cooking technique. But I have discovered that the secret to making soft Chapatis is in using hot water. Hot water somehow softens the Flour before you begin kneading it. I must admit as a kid I never really liked 'brown Chapati' as we used to call wholewheat Chapatis, but as I grew up I guess I acquired a taste for them. They somehow became delicious. Maybe it was the way they were being cooked growing up. Wholewheat flour is kind of a challenge to work with when it comes to cooking Chapati.All the times I have cooked Wholewheat Chapati I have added white All Purpose Flour. I must try cooking the Chapati with all Wheat Flour and see whether they will hold. The ratio I use is usually 2 Cups Wholewheat Flour to 3/4 Cup White All Purpose Flour. This helps to bind the Flour while kneading and even cooking so that the Chapatis do not break apart. The other secret of making soft Chapatis is to knead with cooking oil as you finish. All I can say is that the Chapatis turned out soft and delicious. Try them out and let me know your experience with Wholewheat Chapatis.

SOFT CHAPATI RECIPE
Chapati, also known as Roti, Shabaati,

Chapati, and Vegetable Stuffed Chapati. Despite its popularity, many people
