This lowfat, high fiber, vegan (without margarine) recipe was taken from the Healthy Vegetarian Cookery cookbook by Nicle Oakley. Ingredients:
225 g whole wheat flour |
1 pinch salt |
150 ml water, about |
margarine, for spreading (optional) |
Directions:
1. Sift the flour and salt into a large bowl and make a hollow in the centre.
2. Add the water gradually, working in the flour to make a firm dough.
3. Knead well for about 15 minutes, until the dough is smooth.
4. Cover with a damp cloth and leave to stand for about 30 minutes.
5. The dough should be quite firm and hard.
6. Divide the dough into eight portions.
7. Roll each into a circle, about 15 cm (6 inch) in diameter, sprinkling the rolling pin and work surface with flour to prevent sticking.
8. Cook each chapati in a very hot heavy frying pan, without fat.
9. When the top surface shows signs of bubbling, turn the chapati over and cook for 30-40 seconds on the other side.
10. Then place the chapati under a warm grill until it puffs up.
11. Spread margarine lightly on one side, fold over and serve hot.
