Instructions
1. Knead together the flour and water, starting with only a slight dribble of water and adding more as you go until the dough becomes smooth but not too sticky.
2. Cover dough, and let rest for at least 5 minutes.
3. Divide dough into balls and roll out into disks, slightly thicker than denim material; sprinkle with flour as you roll.
4. Place a non-oiled pan over moderately high heat and test its surface temperature by holding your hand over it.
5. When very hot, put a chapati on the pan and press it flat with a spatula or dry cloth to make it rise up.
6. Flip and repeat so it becomes lightly browned on both sides.
7. If desired, brush with ghee.
