My experiments with wheat have now become a big stress reliever.
Everyday, when I come back home from work, I look forward to slapping, punching and kneading the poop out of that flour water oil mix!
Well, I thought I'd share some general tips with you. Especially with them men to whom making chapatis don't occur as naturally as one would think. Trust me, I sort of mastered the craft only recently.
Anyway, straight to the point, how to we knead the flour. Here are the steps:
1. Take a vessel where you will be kneading the dough.
2. Coat the vessel with a couple of teaspoons of oil so that there is a thin film of oil on the vessel.
3. Take the flour, depending on how much you need. I would recommend that you take very little, say about two cup fulls.
4. Make a hole in between the mound of flour, with your finger, make sure the deal looks like a volcano, a dormant one.
5. Pour about a tablespoon of oil into this orifice. Cover with flour and start to poke your finger in and drawing circles. Once all the oil is absorbed by the flour time to put to water.
6. Start small, that is the mantra to a successful dough. Put little quantities of water and mix the flour, till you get just about the right consistency. If you are using the same cup as the one you used to measure the flour, start by adding quarter cups of water.
7. Once you get a dough like consistency, mix well so that you get a fairly soft mix and viola! You have dough required to make chapatis, phulkas, paranthas!
Worked for me, hope it works for you.
