- Heat a flat pan on medium heat
- Take each flat dough and place on the pan to fry, add oil on the side facing you, then flip over immediately and add oil on that second side too, now let it cook for about 45 seconds each and flip the sides again.

- After frying, your chapatis should look somehow like this or better :)
- Note: i didnt include the measurement of the hot water because i actually didnt measure mine, i just decided to do it the traditional way by using my eyes to size it up… lol But if you follow what i said about not adding a lot of water at once, you should be fine.
