   Roll with a rolling pin into thin ½ cm round pancakes. Heat a heavy cast iron pan. Put the chapati onto the pan and cook for about 30 seconds than turn over and cook on the other side. When it starts to get golden on the bottom side turn it over again and cook for another minute. A sign of well done chapati is if it puffs up.
