Prepare the dough by mixing together 1/2 the water and flour. Slowly add the rest of the water kneading for 5-10 minutes
Put the dough to one side for about 45 minutes, knead again, split into pieces and set aside.
Place your tawa or frying pan on a medium heat.
Take some dough and make a ball about the size of a small apple.
On a lightly floured surface/worktop, use a floured rolling pin to roll out the ball of dough into a thin chapati.
Place the chapati onto the hot tawa/frying pan.
Once it changes colour flip it over and cook both sides of the chapati. If necessary, you can flip it over again. Once cooked cover with a cloth to keep warm. Make the rest of the chapatis in the same way.
