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.
