Masala Chapati
Ingredients
- 2 cups wheat flour
- 1 tsp chilli powder
- a small pinch turmeric powder
- 2 tbsp curd
- 1/2 tsp garam masala powder
- 1 tsp kasoori methi
- 1/2 tsp chat masala powder
- 1/2 tsp cumin seeds
- a tiny pinch sugar
- salt to taste
- water as required
- 2 tsp oil / ghee for the dough + to toast
Instructions
- Combine all the ingredients except water and oil in a bowl, mix well then add water little by little to gather together.
- Once it forms a mass, add the oil and knead for 5mins to form a soft pilable dough.Rest the dough for atleast 30mins.
- Divide them into equal lemon sized balls and slightly flatten them.Dust flour and roll them into thin chapathis.
- Heat a dosa pan, add the chapathi, drizzle oil and cook on both sides until golden brown spots appear here and there.
- Toast it with oil / ghee.
Notes
- You can use roasted cumin seeds powder instead of cumin seeds.
- Reg the spice measures, you can experiment them according to your taste.
- I added kashmiri chilli powder so it gave a good orangeish red color to the chapathi
- The chapati is very soft and flavourful that you do not even need any side dish for it.

can we store this dough for long..or like overnight so that early in the morning i can make the chapati
SHARMILEE J
Yes the dough will keep well for 2 days, but refrigerate it.And few mins before making the chapati bring the dough to room temperature and then roll it.
