Chapathi And Parippu / Dal Curry

Chappathi and parippu Curry

For making chapathi
whole wheat powder / Atta
warm water
oil or ghee little
salt

Make a dough using the above ingredients. Divide the dough into small balls. Sprinkle little wheat powder on the wooden board and place the ball over it. Roll each ball to make chapathis using the rolling pin. Heat a griddle / tawa. Place the chapathi over it. When steam comes, soon turn over it. (it takes only few seconds for the steam to come out). Then wait until one side of the chapathi cooks well. You can see some parts of the chapathi puffs up. So flip over again , wait, it will puff up wholly. Remove from griddle. Apply 1/4 teaspoon of ghee over the sides of chapathis if you like. Don't forget to wipe the pan with a tissue paper or cloth in between to remove the burned powder.
