Zero oil Chapati

Whole Wheat Flour/Multi Grain Flour (I used Multi grain flour) – 3 Cups

Warm Reduced Fat Milk – 1 Cup

Water and Salt – As needed

Mix all the ingredients except water.
Now sprinkle water and make soft pliable dough Pic 5.
Rest it for at least 30mins before rolling.
After 30mins make lemon/equal size balls.
I have not used dry flour while rolling the chapati, I used 2 ziploc bags and in between I rolled it Pic 6.

So roll one at a time and stack it using butter paper.
Now heat the dosa pan/tawa to high temp and cook the chapatis by flipping both sides.
Cook till getting golden spots all over.
