Chapatis #3 Recipe

Recipe Ingredients

1 1/2 cup flour, unbleached
1/2 cup flour, whole wheat
1 tsp salt
3 tbsp ghee
1/2 cup water

Recipe Preparation

Mix flours, salt, and butter and add just enough water to make a firm
dough, somewhat like a biscuit dough. Knead for 10-15 minutes - the
more the dough is kneaded, the lighter the bread will be. Shape the
dough into a ball, cover with a sheet of plastic and let it rest for
at least 1 hour. If left to rest overnight in the refrigerator, the
finished bread will be even lighter.

When ready to bake, take a small piece of dough about the size of a
golf ball, or a bit smaller. On a lightly floured board, roll the
dough into a thin circle, about 5 inches in diameter. Repeat with all
the dough.

Heat a griddle or heavy-bottomed iron skillet until it is very hot
(you will notice the smoke rising from it). Place the rolled out
chapati on the griddle and let it cook for 2-3 minutes, depending on
how thin you have rolled it. Using a pair of kitchen tongs, you can
lift the chapati to see if the underside has turned a golden brown.
Flip, and cook the other side about 1 minute.

As they are cooked, store the chapatis on a towel in a warm covered
container until ready to serve. Serve as soon as the last chapati is
baked.

NOTE: In India breads sometimes are baked in the fiery clay tandoor,
where they develop brown spots and bubbles. To achieve a similar
effect at home, you can use tongs to hold each chapati over a hot gas
flame until it puffs like a little balloon. The chapati will
collapse as it cools.

Food Tips of the Week

Dieting tips

In deciding on a meal plan, it is essential to also make sure you cut down your ingestion of refined carbohydrate, fat and salt.
Some lower carbohydrate diet pointers:
* Make reduced carbohydrate bread crumbs for breadcrumb coated foods. Whilst you may be able to buy reduced carb breadcrumbs, you may make them at home by simply using reduced carb bread. All you have to do is simply toast the reduced carb bread in a pre-heated oven on a cookie sheet. When it is well toasted, process it in your food processor or blender. To store, keep in a tupperware jar or container.

* Fiber is essential Cutting the carbs in your diet often results in reduction in fiber also. Look at low carbohydrate recipes that are rich in fiber to restore the balance.
