Step-by-step

1. Measure out the flour into a large bowl. Add the oil and mix together with a fork until you have large, roughly shaped breadcrumbs.
2. Slowly add half the hot water and mix the dough with the fork until large lumps form.
3. Work the dough together with your hands, adding a little water to bind into a stiff dough.
4. Pour a few teaspoons of oil onto your work surface and knead the dough until it's slightly smooth.
5. Divide the dough into little balls about the size of a large walnut.
6. Roll each ball out on a lightly floured surface aiming for a circular shape which is a few millimetres thick.
7. Heat a dry frying pan to a medium heat and cook each chapati for a couple of minutes on each side. Use a spatula to turn them over.
8. Flip them off the frying pan and then pour a little ghee over the top and smear over with the back of your spoon. Serve warm.
