I was not aware of the secrets, tips and tricks for making hotel style soft chapati when I was new to cooking. Not just me, making a super soft chapathi that stays soft for long time would be the dream for many. When I was a beginner I used to make hard, chewy chapati and sometimes like roasted papad too.&nbsp;&nbsp;As we were newly married, Sendhil couldn\u2019t scold me instead he used to make fun of my chapathi. Once my MIL told this method, ingredients and suggested me to give a try. When I tried it for the first time, I couldn\u2019t believe the results. It came out super soft. I felt very happy and excited to see my chapathi soft like a kerchief. More than me, Sendhil was feeling much more relieved \ud83d\ude03. Thanks a ton to my MIL for teaching me this wonderful recipe.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: left;\" trbidi=\"on\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: left;\" trbidi=\"on\">After making this chapathi successfully, I attempted phulka\/roti without oil and now I can confidently make phulka\/roti and chapathi anytime. Soon I will share my phulka recipe too. Before going to this recipe let me tell you,&nbsp;<em><strong>this is not chapathi without oil<\/strong><\/em>. It is not North Indian phulka or roti. I hope you know the difference between roti and chapati.You would have come across different types of soft chapati recipes using milk, hot water, ghee etc. This is one such kind.&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: left;\" trbidi=\"on\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: left;\" trbidi=\"on\">Many of you must have tasted this kind of chapati in Tamil nadu hotels. Here I have used oil &amp; curd to bring the softness. So fat is used in this recipe. Please do not attempt this recipe if you are calorie conscious or if you are in diet. This recipe is purely for beginners &amp; bachelors who craves for making soft chapathi. You can dare to try this recipe for your lunch box and to your guests as well. It stays soft for long time.&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: left;\" trbidi=\"on\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: left;\" trbidi=\"on\">If you follow this recipe, you do not have to worry about the wheat flour brand. It works for all the brand like Aashirvaad, Pillsburry, Any multi grain atta, Swad etc. You can even try with homemade wheat flour ground using ration wheat grains\/ ration godhumai.

Aashirvaad takes little more water than Pillsbury. The water quantity I have given here is an approximate measure. It may vary for multi grain atta. <\/li>\n<li>Do not add all the water while kneading the dough. Sprinkle water only in small quantities. If you feel you have added excess water, you can add little flour to it but you should add few more drops of oil &amp; knead it really well else chapathi will come out hard.  <\/li>\n<li>Rolling the chapathi of uniform thickness is necessary for uniform puffing else chapathi won\u2019t puff up in some places. Also never roll the chapathi very thin like a transparent sheet. They will roast like a papad.  <\/li>\n<li>Do not over dust the chapathi in flour. Do it once or twice. If you dust more, chapathi may come out soft but it will look dry.  <\/li>\n<li>Do not leave the chapathi dough or rolled chapathi in air for long time. It will become dry &amp; gives you hard chapati. So keep it closed till use.  <\/li>\n<li>Heat of the flame is very important while cooking chapathi. It should be low to medium. Never cook in high flame. It will become a papad. Flame should be high only for making phulkas and that too while showing in direct flame.  <\/li>\n<li>Always brush the chapathi with oil or ghee if you keep for long time.
