This modern recipe for the well-known Indian flatbread that substitutes a gluten-free flour mix for the usual wheat flour.

Ingredients:

140g Gluten-free Dry Flour Mix
1/2 tsp salt (or to taste)
1 tsp ghee (clarified butter)
65ml (about) warm water

Method:

Add the flour mix to a large bowl, form a well in the centre and add the salt, ghee and half the water. Stir to combine then gradually add the remaining water, a little at a time, until you have a soft dough.

Turn onto a lightly-floured work surface and knead thoroughly until smooth and elastic. Return to the bowl, cover and set aside to rest for 45 minutes. Take small pieces of the dough and form them into balls about half the size of a tennis ball. Dust with flour then use a rolling pin to roll into thin rounds.

Take a non-stick pan and heat until very hot. Add the chapati and fry for about 30 seconds until beginning to brown in places (but do not allow to burn). Take a dry cloth, screw into a ball and press it down hard on every part of the chapati's surface. Turn the chapati over and repeat the procedure. When you press the dough down it should form bubbles; if it does not then the pan is hot enough or you have not cooked the chapati sufficiently. Simply turn the chapati over and continue cooking. When done, set aside in the oven to keep warm.

If desired, you can spread with a little ghee before serving.
