Ingredients

• 2 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 1 cup Tapioca flour
• 2 tablespoons Psyllium husk powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1.5 cups Warm water
• 2 tablespoons Oil (such as olive or vegetable)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour, tapioca flour, psyllium husk powder, and salt. Mix well with a whisk to ensure even distribution of the ingredients.

Step 2

Gradually add warm water to the dry ingredients while stirring continuously to form a dough. Start with 1 cup of water and add more as needed to achieve a soft yet firm dough.

Step 3

Once the dough is formed, knead it for about 3-4 minutes until it is smooth. If the dough is sticky, add a little more gluten-free flour, a tablespoon at a time, as needed.

Step 4

Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for about 15 minutes. This helps the psyllium husk absorb some of the moisture and makes the dough easier to roll.

Step 5

Divide the rested dough into 6 equal-sized balls. Roll each ball between your palms to make them smooth.

Step 6

Flatten each dough ball and roll it out using a rolling pin into a disc of about 6 inches in diameter. Use a light dusting of tapioca flour to prevent sticking if necessary.

Step 7

Heat a non-stick skillet or tava over medium heat. Once hot, place a rolled-out chapathi on the skillet.

Step 8

Cook for about 1-2 minutes on one side until light brown spots appear, then flip to the other side and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes. Press gently using a clean cloth or spatula to ensure even cooking.

Step 9

Drizzle or brush a little oil on both sides and cook for another 30 seconds each to make it golden and soft.

Step 10

Repeat the process for all the chapathi balls. Serve hot with your favorite curry or side dish.
