Ingredients
Method
Mix the flour, salt and sugar in a large bowl. Add 2 tbsp of the oil and the warm water a little at a time, kneading into a soft dough.
Knead for about 5 minutes until smooth. Cover and rest for 15 minutes.
Divide the dough into 8 balls. Roll each into a thin circle, brush with oil, then roll it up like a rope and coil it into a spiral.
Roll each spiral out again into a circle about 3 mm thick.
Cook in a hot dry pan for about 1 minute each side, then brush with oil and press with a spatula until golden spots appear.
Stack the cooked chapatis under a clean cloth to keep them soft.
