I kneed well, roll them into round shape and they get puffed too... but my only problem is they do not stay soft for long. They get kind of dry... can anyone tell me a suggesstion? do i need to wrap them in some cloth i am not sure.... any suggesstion? Thanks for ur suggestions.

In US houses with electric stove... GRRRRR... Only way it works is pat a couple of times, a small rough towel while keeping gas in medium flame... Phulkas come soft. However, my mother couldnt teach me chapathis, as I got married then :) She made wonderfully soft chapathis. So my chapathis turn out hard. If u add oil they are chapathis, that is the distinction. However I smeared oil only when chapathis are baking and not when making the dough itself.. Guess thats the mistake, When you stuff with potatoes or other veggies they are called parathas. Thanks, after visiting your blog I hope to make soft chapathis as well...

I have also tried a number of permutation and combination to keep it soft but somehow after sometime they start getting hard. But your demo sure will help! Thanks for the effort!

Perfect measurements dhanya. Also, your tip to knead very very well until soft and also to rest it for a while (covered), no matter what brand of flour we use, yields perfect chappathies. so again, thanks a lot Dhanya. :) <em>Thanks a bunch Rg</em> Dhanya Again, made wonderful chappathies with your recipe today.
