Cooking Hacks: 4 Ways to Make Perfectly Round and Soft Chapatis

Many struggle with making round, soft rotis or chapatis. Some even give up, opting for rice dishes instead. But no more worries! We've got some master tricks to ensure your chapatis are perfectly round and soft.

With these tips, you'll make perfect round, soft chapatis on your first try. So, get ready to make soft, round chapatis for your family.

Always knead the dough with lukewarm water for soft chapatis. Add a pinch of salt and 1-2 teaspoons of oil for enhanced flavor.

Divide the dough into small balls. Press each ball between your palms to make a disc. Ensure it's round. Place the disc on a rolling board and gently roll it clockwise with a rolling pin. Dust with dry flour to prevent sticking. To avoid thick edges, lightly roll from the edges towards the center.

This method is typically used for puris. If you can't make round discs, cut the chapati dough with a round lid or bowl. Then roll it out. This gives a perfect round shape.

This is the easiest way, but requires a small investment. Use a roti maker or round shaper available in the market. This instantly makes round chapatis.

If the dough was refrigerated, bring it to room temperature and knead it again with lukewarm water before making chapatis. Dust the dough with dry flour to prevent it from sticking to the rolling board.
