Chapati - Indian flat bread


I am so grateful to all those countries and individuals who helped during last floods in Balkan (and disappointed with Australian media for not giving it enough attention and appealing for help).
Situation is still difficult, but many risen rivers are slowly receding. Difficult period of cleaning and disposing dead animals is yet to come. I hope all those affected people will get enough financial help, as all crops are lost (which means whole year of hunger). If we all give just a little bit...

This is a recipe for a simple flat bread, Indian style. It's cooked in a pan and no yeast is used, so it's quick as well.

Ingredients:
1 cup plain flour
1 cup wholemeal (fine/stoneground) flour
1/2 tsp salt
1 tbs oil
3/4 cup - 1 cup water
oil or ghee for cooking

Method:
Mix flour, water, salt and 1tbs oil. Knead into a smooth dough; cover and let it rest for 25-30 minutes. Divide into 8-10 balls. Roll out each into a thin circle. Heat your pan, oil surface a bit and bake each side of bread for a minute or so (until slightly blackened and puffed). Keep warm until you finish all.


Čapati  - Indijski tanki (ravni) hljeb / kruh

Zahvalna sam svim onim zemljama i pojedincima, koji su pomogli tokom poplava u Balkanskim zemljama (i razocarana sa Australijskim medijima, koji nisu dali previse znacaja i apelirali na pomoc). Situacija je jos teska, ali mnoge podignute rijeke se povlace polako. Teski period ciscenja i uklanjanja uginulih zivotinja tek predstoji. Nadam se da su svi pogodjeni ovom katastrofom dobili (ili ce dobiti) dovoljno finansijske pomoci, posto su sve zitarice unistene (sto znaci glad za cijelu godinu). Kad bismo svi dali , bar malo...

Ovo je jedan od jednostavnih recepata. Chapati se pece u tavi i ne sadrzi kvasac, tako da ga dobijete veoma brzo.

Potrebno:
1 solja brasna (obicno, bijelo)
1 solja integralnog (crnog / od punog zrna), treba da je fino/sitno mljeveno
1/2 k soli
1 K ulja
3/4 solje - do 1 solja vode
ulje ili maslo za prziti  

Nacin:
Umijesite tijesto od brasna, soli, vode i 1K ulja. Pokrijte i ostavite 25-30 minuta odmarati. Podijelite na 8-10 loptica; razvaljajte svaku na tanki krug. Zagrijte tavu, blago nauljite i pecite svaki komad obje strane oko 1 minutu (ili dok lagano ne pocrni i dobije mjehurice). Drzite na toplome dok sve ne zavrsite.

      Odlicno izgleda. I ja sam postala veliki fan tankog kruha, probacu i ovu verziju sa integralnim brasnom.

      Pošto moja mama voli praviti domaći hljeb (najčešće ražovi sa puno žitarica), predložit ću joj da napravi ovi Chapati, da ih probamo! Pozdrav!

      Mislim da će se još pomagati i da će države daati novce za izgradnju kuća. Volim ove kruhove...

      U Hrvatskoj je država proglasila elementarnu nepogodu i samim time postala odgovorna. Uz to ljudi daju i pomažu, nadam se da pomoć stiže u prave ruke. Posljedice ove katastrofe će se tek osjetiti.
      Chapati još nisam probala raditi, fino izgleda!

      Chapati mi je jako dobar, zabilježen i ide na tavu :)
      Žao mi je čuti da Australia nije baš odreagirala na nepogodu sa poplavama, još dugo ćemo sanirati posljedice i svaka pomoć je potrebna !

      Chapati: I add a dollop of plain and unsweetened yoghurt to mine - just adds a little something.
