 Indian Flat Bread  (Chapatis)
 -----------------------------

4 cups wholewheat flour
2 tsp salt
2 tbsp ghee  (oil - I use canola)
1 cup water  ( or a bit more)

Boil water.  Mix everything together and knead for at least 10 mins.
(I put it in the mixer and come back later)  It should have enough
water in it to form a ball.

Let sit 2 - 6 hours.  The longer it sits, the more air bubbles will be
in the bread.

Divide dough into balls the size of walnuts.  Flour a surface then roll
out the balls as thin as possible.

Heat (but don't grease) a heavy based frying pan (an electric one works
well) and fry the rounds for about 1 - 1.5 mins on each side.

Note:
This dough can also be used to fill with vegetables and deep fried.
