    Chickpea Chapati (Indian Flat bread)


    Source of Recipe


    Angela Lowry

    Recipe Introduction


    The traditional East Indian flatbread made with chickpea flour (aka chana, besan or gram flour).

    This recipe makes 8-10 chapati.

    List of Ingredients




    1 cup chick pea flour
    1/3 cup water
    2 Tbs. arrowroot powder
    1 Tbs. light, cold-pressed oil
    Optional: 1/4 tsp salt

    Recipe



    Mix all ingredients well. Roll into 1" balls and pat flat. With a rolling pin, roll out pastry-like rounds.

    Heat a lightly oiled frying pan until very hot.

    Reduce heat to medium high and heat each round for 1-2 minutes on each side, until warmed and slightly browned.

    Serve hot or store in the refrigerator. Chapatis may be eaten hot from the pan, or cold, or lightly toasted. They are wonderful with rice or Indian foods, and they make a good bread substitute for sandwiches.
