Making a chapathi may not a big deal for the North Indians, but for the South Indians as like me bug to make chapathis…. Woooofff after so many trial and errors amma learned how to make soft chapathis and I very easily copied from her . But, still I hit my head for not making a perfect round-shaped rotis. Somewhere are other I ll go wrong in rolling the dough. In my in-laws place I ll take the job of fluffing the rotis and skip the rolling part!! He he here in US am stuck with doing the two process and I used to make different shaped rotis, either a triangle one or a zig-zag version chapathis. But I never missed out to turn the chapathi soft. Mine will always turn into a soft rotis… probably cos of my amma’s training.
I always use olive oil while mixing the dough and avoid adding oil at the end. Some like the chapathis coated with ghee on top. Serve as per ur wish
