3 cups      Whole Wheat Flour

1 tsp                        Salt

1.5 cups     Water

Kneed flour and water, starting with only a dribble of water. Adding more as you go until the dough becomes smooth but not too sticky. Cover for at least 5 minutes. Divide into balls and roll out into disks, slightly thicker than denim material. Sprinkle flour as you roll. Place a non –oiled pan on a moderately high fire (stove) when very hot, put a chapatti on the pan and press it flat with a spatula or dry cloth to make it rise up. Flip and repeat so it becomes lightly browned on both sides.
