Step 2

1. Prepare the Dry Ingredients: In a wide mixing plate or bowl, combine the ragi flour, salt, and guar gum. Mix them thoroughly to ensure even distribution.

Step 3

2. Knead the Dough: Gradually add room-temperature water while mixing. Knead the mixture into a soft, pliable dough.

Step 4

3. Rest the Dough: Cover the dough and let it rest for at least 30 minutes to allow the guar gum to activate and make the dough easier to work with.

Step 5

4. Roll Out the Chapatis: Dust your surface and rolling pin with some wheat or ragi flour to prevent sticking. Divide the dough into small portions and roll each into a thin, round chapati.

Step 6

5. Cook the Chapatis: Heat a tawa or skillet on medium heat. Place a chapati on it and cook until it puffs up, flipping occasionally for even cooking.

Step 7

6. Serve: Brush the cooked chapati with a little ghee and serve immediately.
