Try the Indian corn flatbreads Chapati from Spoonsparrow. The breads pair perfectly with dal or vegetable curry.

Ingredients

  • 200 g wheat flour (Type 1050)
  • 200 g cornmeal
  • 3 tbsp soft ghee (or clarified butter)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • flour (for the work surface)

Instructions

  1. 1.

    Combine wheat flour and cornmeal in a bowl. Add 2 tbsp ghee, salt, and 225 ml water; knead into a smooth dough for several minutes. Shape into a ball, cover, and rest for about 20 minutes.

  2. 2.

    Divide the dough into roughly 15 equal pieces, shape each into small balls, then roll out on a floured surface to 1–2 mm thick round discs suitable for pan cooking.

  3. 3.

    Heat a skillet; cook the corn flatbreads one at a time in remaining ghee for about 1 minute, flip and finish cooking until they turn light brown.
