Instructions
- Mix together 2 cups flour and salt in a large bowl until well combined. Slowly mix in enough warm water to make a thick dough. Mix in oil until combined.
- Transfer dough to a cool surface and knead for a few minutes, adding 2 teaspoonfuls flour. Return dough to the same bowl, cover with a clean cloth, and let rest for 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C).
- Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat.
- Divide dough into orange-sized balls. Flatten into 6-inch circles.
- Fry in batches in the hot skillet, turning once, until golden brown and spotted, 6 to 8 minutes. Repeat with remaining dough. Keep chapatis warm in the oven.
