---

Method:

1. Mix together the flour, salt and milk, water or buttermilk to form a dough. Place the dough on a floured surface and knead in the oil. Knead for 10 minutes until smooth then cover with a damp cloth and leave to stand at room temperature for 15-20 minutes.

2. Divide the dough into 12 balls. Coat each one with flour and flatten to form a round. Roll out to about 15cm/6 in in diameter. Heat an iron griddle or frying pan (skillet) over a high heat then reduce the heat to medium.

3. Place 1 chapati in a hot pan and fry for about 30 seconds until the top begins to puff. Turn over the chapati and fry for a further 30-40 seconds until the surface starts to puff. Remove from the pan and fry the remaining chapatis in the same way. Serve immediately.
