Do not make it too thin, or else it will develop holes or stick. Peel the flattened dough off the slab and place on the hot pan/tava . Observe the color on the upside turn from wet to dry, before turning over the chapati and letting it cook on the other side. Add a little oil on both sides and start anew with the next ball of doug
