Indian flatbread (Chapati) from Spoonsparrow, an Indian classic cooked in a pan, is always delicious.

  • 300 g spelt whole‑grain flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 15 g ghee (clarified butter; 3 tsp)

Instructions

  1. 1.

    Mix flour, salt, 2 tsp ghee and 175 ml lukewarm water in a bowl and knead until a smooth dough forms. Add more water as needed. Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces, shape into balls, return to the bowl, cover and rest for 30 minutes.
