  1. Chapati

    250g (8 oz) wholemeal flour 1 tsp salt 200ml (1/3 pint) water (approximately)

    Place the flour and salt in a bowl. Make a well in the centre, gradually stir in the water and work
    to a soft supple dough. Knead for 10 minutes then cover and leave in a cool place for 30 minutes.
    Knead again very thoroughly, then divide into 12 pieces. Roll out each piece on a floured surface
    into a thin round pancake.

    Lightly grease a griddle or heavy-based frying pan with a little oil or margarine and place over a
    moderate heat. Add chapatti and cook until blisters appear. Press down with a spatula then turn and
    cook on the other side until lightly coloured. Remove from the pan and keep warm while cooking the
    rest. Brush a little margarine on one side and serve warm.

  2. I love chappatis! Being lazy this is my bread machine cheating method.... no claims for
    authenticity. And don't blame me if it damages your bread machine. Substituting wholemeal flour for
    the atta flour does not produce such good results.

    150g atta (chappati) flour 150g strong white flour 1 tsp salt 200ml water (or as required for
    slightly wet dough)

    Add all to bread machine and run pizza dough cycle (45 minutes using Panasonic).

    Remove dough, spit into 6 - 10 balls, cover and rest for 30 minutes.

    Rollout and cook on hot dry cast iron griddle, turning once. Can place under hot grill to puff up
    or reheat.

    Enjoy.

  3. Atta's the flour for Samosas too. The restaurant at the Mary Ward Centre in London does Samosas made
    with wholemeal flour. They're very nice but not as good as with atta flour.

    A lot of their food is Vegan and the prices are very reasonable too.
