Indian basic bread (chapati or roti)

Mix all the ingredients in a bowl and knead, it has to be an elastic dough, so if it is too liquid or too dry, add water or flour as needed. You can also add the spices you like, today I put a teaspoon of garlic and a teaspoon of parsley.

Shape the dough into a ball, add a little oil and let it rest for 30 minutes, covered with a cloth.

After half an hour, prepare a board, more flour and a rolling pin and go taking more or less large pieces, according to your pan and your hand... As something less than the palm of your hand without your fingers, it's fine.

Prepare a frying pan with a little oil, over very high heat, and spread the oil with a brush or a napkin, it has to be like a griddle. .

Form small balls with this dough, and then flatten it between your hands making a kind of cookie.

With the cookie and the well-floured board, flatten with the rolling pin, they have to be as thin as possible.

With the oil already hot, put your "pancake", put a little oil on top and when bubbles start to come out (to swell) turn it over, if it is not toasted you can leave it a little longer, it has to turn brown in the bubbles.

I make them 1 by 1, while the one on the fire is cooking I stretch the next one, because otherwise they stick together and it is almost impossible to take them off.

Leave them in a covered container to cool as little as possible until you finish them all. With these quantities I get about 6, but it depends on the size you make the balls.

And that's it! You can use them to accompany a curry, or even for pancakes! I use them as cutlery, that is, to eat with your hands, as they do there!
