Ingredients

• 2 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
• 0.75 cups Warm water
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Ghee or butter (optional for cooking)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour, salt, and xanthan gum. Mix well to ensure even distribution of ingredients.

Step 2

Gradually add warm water to the flour mixture, stirring with a spoon until the mixture starts to come together.

Step 3

Add olive oil to the mixture. Begin kneading the dough with your hands for about 5 minutes until it becomes smooth and pliable. If the dough feels too dry, add a tablespoon of warm water at a time until you achieve the right consistency.

Step 4

Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and shape each portion into a ball.

Step 5

Lightly sprinkle a clean surface with a little gluten-free flour. Take one dough ball and roll it out into a circle using a rolling pin, about 6 inches in diameter. Repeat the process with the remaining dough balls.

Step 6

Heat a skillet or non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Optionally, add a small amount of ghee or butter for added flavor.

Step 7

Place a rolled chapati on the hot skillet. Cook for 1-2 minutes on one side until bubbles form on the surface. Flip the chapati and cook the other side for another 1-2 minutes until golden spots appear.

Step 8

Transfer the cooked chapati to a plate and keep it warm by covering it with a clean kitchen towel. Repeat the cooking process with the remaining rolled chapatis.

Step 9

Serve the chapatis warm with your favorite curry or vegetables.
