Answers:

CHAPATTI

2 cups flour
1 cup water
flour for rolling

Mix flour with enough water to make a smooth and soft dough. You should be able to press a finger in without much resistance.
Flatten, make little wells with your finger tips, then sprinkle with a bit water. Cover with plastic wrap and allow to rest in the refrigerator for half an hour.

Knead it for a minute and roll up small chunks of dough into smooth balls. Flatten into circular shapes and roll into rounds about 1/8” thick. Use a sprinkling of flour if needed to keep from sticking (not too much).

Place an iron griddle or seasoned heavy skillet over high heat until a drop of water sizzles away instantly.

Put a chapatti on the skillet or griddle. When the edges begin to curl up, lift it with a pair of tongs and place it over a direct flame with the raw side down. The chapatti will puff up right away.

Flip to cook the second side.

PITA BREAD

1 pita bread (pocket bread)
American, Swiss or Provolone cheese
butter

Cut pita bread in half crosswise. Spread insides with butter. Add 1-2 slices of cheese (depending on size of pita). Place on plate in microwave and melt for 20-30 seconds or until cheese is melted. Length of time in microwave will vary depending on power wattage of microwave.





PURIS (Indian Fry Bread)

2 c. whole wheat flour
2 c. flour
1 tsp. salt
1/4 c. (1/2 stick) butter, melted
1 1/3 c. water (approx.)
Oil for deep frying

Combine the flours and salt in a large mixing bowl. Make a hollow in the center and pour in the melted butter. Add the water gradually, kneading the mixture, until a firm dough is formed. Continue to knead for 5-10 minutes longer. Cover with a damp cloth and set aside for 15 minutes.
Divide the dough into 18 pieces and roll each into a thin circle, 4-5 inches in diameter. Fry the puris, one at a time, in the hot oil. After a few seconds they will puff up. Hold down in the oil with the back of a spoon and remove when they are crisp and golden. Drain on paper towels.


HOPE THIS HELPS!!! (i reccommend the puri!) ;-)
