Notes
1. You can either add the salt in the wheat flour or add the salt with the water. I added the salt in the water and pour it in the whole wheat flour.

2. The whole wheat flour may vary from country to country. I used exactly 350ml of water for 500g of whole wheat flour. But, you better to add the water time to time and see. If you feel it’s enough then stop, if not pour more.

3. The more you knead the softer the chapati you will get. I was kneading the dough for about 10 minutes.

4. You should use a non-stick skillet or cast iron skillet. If not, you may have to use some oil before place the chapati on it.
