how to make chapati soft?

If the dough is loose (contains more water than necessary, you will need to use more dry flour while rolling which can make chapati hard.


Resting dough for 20-30 minutes is a must to make soft chapati.

Keep dough balls covered till you are ready to roll them. You may cover them with a wet cloth or keep them in a box.

Once a round is rolled out, add a few drops oil onto the circle and spread it. Fold the circle in half and again to form a triangle.


Roll again to form a circle or a triangle (your preference).

While rolling, remember to roll the edges thinner than the center. This helps in puffing up of the chapati while cooking.
