In a bowl or large wide plate, add flour, a pinch of salt and mix. Now add water little by little and mix so that everything comes together. The amount of water you need may be more or less, depending on the type and texture of the flour.
1 cup Whole wheat flour (atta), ⅓ cup Water (approx), Salt, a pinch
Knead the dough using your palm and knuckles until the dough becomes soft and smooth. If the dough is sticky, add more flour and knead, and if it is too dry, add extra water and knead.
You can rest the dough for 15 minutes or immediately start making the rotis or chapati.
Divide the dough into six equal parts. Roll each piece between your palms to form a round ball.
Dust the flour on the working surface. Using a rolling pin, roll each ball into a roti of 6-inch diameter.
Heat the tawa or skillet, and once it becomes hot, place the roti. Cook for 20 to 30 seconds or until you see bubbles on top. Flip and cook on the other side for another 20 seconds till golden brown spots appear. Brush with butter or ghee if needed. Serve and enjoy.
