Eid-Ul-Adha is here, and with it comes the joyous occasion of family gatherings, the warmth of shared stories, and, of course, the mouth-watering aromas wafting from the kitchen. This is the time when dishes like succulent goat paya and rich nihari beckon everyone to the table. But let’s be honest – what’s a feast without the soft, fluffy rotis and chapatis on the side? Thanks to the magic of wheat flour, you’ll be rolling out perfect chapatis for your Eid feast. And well, it’s totally worth it.
Let’s see how you are going to pull those rotis out!
Why do wheat flour chapatis rule your Eid meals?
Whole wheat flour has been the key ingredient that has been tying meals together since ancient times in the Indus Valley. Famous across South Asia for its role in making various types of flatbreads, it’s loaded with rich fibers and essential nutrients.
This is what goes into making those pillowy soft chapatis we all love to tear apart and savor at our meals. After all, whole wheat flour is a timeless ingredient that packs a healthy kick onto our plates.
How to make picture-perfect chapatis?
1. Kneading the perfect dough
Before you start rolling out those rotis, know that the flour you choose makes a HUGE difference. When you’re in search of quality whole wheat flour, Sher atta is an excellent go-to option.
Now, let’s get our hands floury! Kneading the perfect dough is simple but oh-so rewarding.
Start with warm water and a splash of oil mixed into your wheat flour. This combo guarantees your dough will be soft and easy to handle. And remember, the warmth of the water is a game-changer. It cuts down kneading time and makes the dough softer & fluffier.
Pro tips to nail that dough
Brownie points for you if you keep these tips in mind while making your wheat flour dough.
- Warm-up: Using warm water makes the dough softer and easier to knead.
- Give it a rest: After a good kneading, let the dough sit snugly under a cloth covering. This little break helps the gluten relax and makes your rolling out easier.
- Even Stevens: Roll those dough balls evenly. Apart from the shape, it’s also about getting them to cook perfectly on the pan.
2. Rolling out and rocking the chapati game
Once your dough feels right – smooth and pliable – it’s rolling time.
Dust your rolling area with a bit of wheat flour and start flattening those balls into perfect circles. Heat your skillet and get those rotis on. A quick cook on each side and a flip at the right time means you’ll get those lovely brown spots and a nice puff indicating they’re ready to eat.
And if you fancy the lighter, puffier kind, go for phulkas.
Part-cook them on the skillet, then let the flame kiss them into airy, puffy delights. It’s a little sight right there on your stove!
