4 servings
For the dough
- 2 cups whole wheat flour (atta), plus more for dusting
- ½ tsp salt
- 2 tsp neutral oil or ghee
- ¾ cup warm water, plus more as needed
For layering and cooking
- 4 tbsp ghee or unsalted butter, softened
Chef's tipUse a stick or block-style dairy-free butter - not a soft tub spread - and swap one-for-one.
Instructions
- 1
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour and salt. Add the oil and rub it into the flour with your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Pour in the warm water gradually, mixing with your hand, until a shaggy dough forms. Knead in the bowl for 6–8 minutes until the dough is smooth, soft, and slightly tacky but not sticky — it should spring back slowly when pressed with a finger. Cover the bowl with a damp cloth and rest for 30 minutes.

Divide the rested dough into 8 equal portions and roll each into a smooth ball. On a lightly floured surface, roll one ball into a thin round about 6 inches in diameter.
