  3. Divide the dough into small balls. There should be about 15-20.

  4. Sprinkle some wheat flour on the balls and thinly roll out the chapati with a rolling pin. They should be about 6-7 inch circles.

  5. To ensure the chapati comes out perfectly keep rotating the chapatis every few seconds.

  6. Heat a tawa pan on a medium flame, place the chapati on the tawa pan, after a few seconds you will notice small air pockets popping out.

  7. Flip and cook about a minute or so then flip again and press down with a tea cloth or wooden roti chapati press, they will start to puff up.

  8. Flip on both side and cook till you see brown spots as the picture below.
