Cook Time: 40 minutes

Total Time: 60 minutes

Servings: 9

Directions

Step 1: Prepare the dough

• In a clean bowl add 1kg of whole wheat flour, 1 teaspoon salt, grated carrots and 2 tablespoons of oil and mix till well incorporated in the flour.
• Add hot water bit by bit as you knead it into a soft and smooth dough.
• Cover the dough with a damp kitchen towel or clean polythene bag for about 10 minutes.

Step 2: Create the Layers

• After the time has elapsed, knead the dough once again.
• Divide it into nine small lemon-sized balls and roll each ball into a circle using a rolling pin and some dry flour for dusting.
• Apply oil and fold the rolled circle into pleats like a fan, creating a long strip. Roll this strip from one end to form a spiral-shaped dough bundle. Repeat the procedure until you are done with all the other divided doughs.

Step 3: Cook the chapati

• Heat your pan over medium heat for 5-6 mins as you roll the spiral-shaped dough bundle back into a flat round circle.
• When the pan is ready, place the rolled chapati on the hot pan and cook for about 1-2 minutes on each side or until small golden spots appear.
• Brush with oil or ghee while cooking for a nice, crisp texture.

Repeat for the remaining rolled chapatis.

Serving

Once cooked, remove the layered carrot chapati from the pan and place each on a plate.

Serve the delicious and colourful chapati hot with your favourite side dish, such as yoghurt, or a vegetable curry.
