A very tasty, Indian flat bread. Most recipes call for oven cooked but we fry in here. 🙂

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all purpose white flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 pinch of salt (about one teaspoon)
  • 1 pinch of sugar (about one teaspoon)
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tablespoon yogurt
  • 3 teaspoons milk (approximate)
  • 1/2 cup water

Directions

  1. Mix the flour, baking soda and powder, salt and sugar together in a large bowl
  2. Put the egg, yogurt and milk together and beat (use a whisk if available)
  3. Add the water and egg-mixture to the flour and mix as much as possible
  4. Turn onto a lightly floured surface and kneed until the dough is firm and elastic (add flour or water as appropriate).
  5. Let it sit for 30 minutes (this step can be skipped if you're in a hurry)
  6. Break the dough into 6 equal parts and roll into balls
  7. Let sit for 5 minutes (this step is also optional)
  8. Flatten the balls into disks, the flatter the better, but anything between a 5 inch radius and 10 inch seems to work fine
  9. Put butter (about 1, to 1.5 tablespoons) onto a skillet or frying pan and turn burner to high.
  10. Once the butter has melted, lay a disk on it.
  11. Once the edges brown, flip and let simmer for a short period of time.
  12. Remove and place onto a paper towel (to catch excess oil).
  13. Repeat this process, adding butter as necessary.
  14. Enjoy! 😀
