Chapati, also known as Roti, is a popular Indian flatbread that can be enjoyed as a side dish or used to wrap around flavorful curries and stews. It is simple to make and is a staple in many Indian households. Unlike traditional bread, chapati is made with whole wheat flour and contains no added sugar or fat, making it a healthier option. The dough is rolled out into thin, circular shapes and then cooked on a griddle or frying pan until slightly browned. Served hot with your favorite dish, chapati is a delicious and healthy addition to any meal.

Instructions

1.	In a large bowl, sift the whole wheat flour to remove any lumps.
2.	Make a well in the center of the flour and gradually add water, mixing with your hands until a dough forms.
3.	Knead the dough for 3-5 minutes until it is smooth and elastic.
4.	Divide the dough into equal-sized balls and flatten each ball with your hands.
5.	Dust the flattened dough with whole wheat flour and roll out each piece into a thin, circular shape.
6.	Heat a griddle or frying pan over medium heat and cook each chapati for about 1 minute on each side until it is cooked and slightly browned.
7.	Serve hot with your favorite curry or meal.
