Combine Ingredients: Start by placing whole wheat flour and salt in a flat round mixing bowl.

-
Shape Dough: Divide the dough into small round balls, ensuring they are uniform in size.
-
Flatten: Take each ball and flatten it on the palm of your hand.

Roll Out: Using a rolling pin, roll out each flattened dough ball to form thin Indian flatbreads, also known as rotis or chapatis in Hindi.
-
Preheat Pan: Heat a non-stick pan over medium flame.
-
Cook One Side: Place each chapati on the preheated pan and cook on one side until small air bubbles start to appear. This indicates that the side facing down is cooking.

Flip and Cook: Flip the chapati and cook the other side until small air bubbles appear as well.
