| Chappati
(Roti or Phulka) |
Top |
Ingredients:
225g/8oz wheatflour, 150-200ml/5-7 fl oz tepid
water, 30ml / 2 level tbsp ghee
Method:
1. Place the flour in a bowl and mix in a little
water in order to bind the flour. Once all the
water has been absorbed, place the dough on
a clean, lightly-floured surface and knead it
thoroughly with floured hands as you would for
making ordinary bread dough.
2.
Once the dough feels fairly soft and pliable
- the consistency should be like that of shortcrust
pastry dough - replace it in the bowl. Cover
with cling film or a piece of dump cloth and
leave to rest for at least 15 minutes.
3.
Heat a heavy frying pan, griddle or tava. Break
off a small piece of dough and shape it in your
palms into a smooth ball the size of a table
tennis ball. Dip this into some dry flour in
order to coat it. Place it on a clean, floured
surface and roll it into a round no more than
0.25 cm (1/2 inch) thick and about 12.5 cm (5
inches) in diameter. If the chappati tends to
stick to the work surface, lift it carefull
and dip into the flour once more.
4.
Carefully place the rolled-out chappati onto
the hot pan. As soon as small bubbles start
to appear on the surface, turn it over, and
repeat the process. Take a clean tea towel and
carefully press down the edges of the chappati.
This will not only make sure that the edges
are cooked but also make the chappati puff up,
making it light and fluffy. The chappati is
cooked as soon as both sides have the brown
spots on the surface.
5.
Remove from the hot griddle or frying pan and
smear with a little ghee or butter. Serve at
once or keep warm in a clean tea towel or foil.
Repeat with remainning dough.
6.
Chappatis (both cooked and uncooked) freeze
very successfullt. If they are uncooked layer
them between sheets of freezer paper, thaw them
out slightly and cook in the normal way. If
cooked chappatis have been frozen, there is
no need to thaw them, simply put them straight
under a hot grill and heat them through for
a few minutes.

| Sada
Paratha |
Top |
Ingredients:
225g/8oz wheatflour, 150-200ml/5-7 fl oz water,
45 ml / 3 tbsp ghee
Method:
1. Pour the flour in a bowl and add a little
water at a time to bind it into a soft, pliable
dough. Knead for a few minutes until the dough
leaves the sides of the bowl absolutely clean.
Cover with a cloth and leave to rest for 15
minutes.
2.
Divide the dough into 8 equal parts. Place one
portion in the palm of your hand and roll it
into a smooth ball. Lightly coat it with a little
dry flour and flatten it slightly on a floured
surface. Roll out into a round of 10cm (4 inches).
Smear a little melted ghee on top. Fold 1/3
of the round into the centre and then the other
1/3 over the first fold so that you have a long
rectangle and repeat folding. 1/3 up and 1/3
down, so that you now have a neat little square.
3.
Dip this square into dry flour to prevent it
from sticking to the rolling surface. Roll out
the paratha into a square no thicker than 5
mm (1/8 inch) and no larger than 12.5 cm (5
inches).
4.
Heat a shallow, heavy frying pan or a griddle
or tava. Test the heat by sprinkling a little
dry flour on the hot surface: it should burn
at once. Wipe the surface clean.
5.
To dry-fry, lift the paratha and place it in
the hot pan. Within a few seconds, small bubbles
will start appearing on the surface and the
paratha will become slightly opaque. Turn it
over with a spatula and cook the other side.
As soon as small bubbles appear on the surface
the underside is cooked. Turn the parath again
and let the other side cook again. Press down
the edges with a clean cloth to ensure even
cooking. Let the paratha cook for another few
seconds then carefully remove it.
6.
Smear with ghee if you wish, or serve plain.
Keep hot while you cook the remaining parathas.
