Ingredients

• 2 cups Gluten-free flour blend (with sorghum, millet, and rice flours)
• 0.5 cups Tapioca starch
• 2 tablespoons Psyllium husk powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 tablespoons Vegetable or olive oil
• 0.75 cups Warm water

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free flour blend, tapioca starch, psyllium husk powder, and salt. Mix well to evenly distribute the ingredients.

Step 2

Add the vegetable or olive oil to the dry ingredients and mix it in to create a slightly crumbly texture.

Step 3

Gradually add the warm water, a little at a time, while mixing the dough with your hands or a spatula. The psyllium husk will help bind the dough and give it elasticity, but ensure not to add too much water at once.

Step 4

Knead the dough until it is soft but not sticky. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let it rest for 15 minutes.

Step 5

Divide the dough into 6 equal portions and roll each portion into a smooth ball.

Step 6

Place one dough ball on a sheet of parchment paper or a lightly floured surface (use gluten-free flour for dusting). Flatten it with your hands, then use a rolling pin to roll it into a thin, round chapathi shape, about 6 inches in diameter.

Step 7

Heat a non-stick skillet or tava over medium heat. Once hot, place the rolled chapathi on the skillet. Cook for about 1-2 minutes or until you see bubbles starting to form.

Step 8

Flip the chapathi and cook the other side for another 1-2 minutes. Press gently with a spatula to ensure even cooking. Flip again if necessary until both sides have golden brown spots.

Step 9

Remove the cooked chapathi and place it in a covered container or wrap it in a clean kitchen towel to keep it warm. Repeat with the remaining dough balls.

Step 10

Serve warm with your favorite curry, dal, or chutney.
