Step 1: Mix Ingredients

1. In a large bowl, mix atta, salt, and oil.

2. Gradually add warm water while mixing with your hand or spoon.

3. Add water slowly until a rough dough begins to form.

Step 2: Knead the Dough

1. Knead the dough on a clean surface for 8–10 minutes.

2. The dough should be soft, elastic, and slightly springy—not sticky.

3. If it feels dry, wet your hands and knead again.

4. If it’s too sticky, sprinkle a little dry flour.

Step 3: Rest the Dough

1. Cover the dough with a damp cloth or lid.

2. Let it rest for 20–30 minutes at room temperature.

3. This helps the gluten relax and ensures softer chapatis.

Step 4: Ready to Roll

1. After resting, knead briefly again for 30 seconds.

2. Your dough is now ready to be shaped into balls and rolled into chapatis!
