Masala Chapati Recipe (Masala Paratha)

Masala Chapati is a flavorful variation on classic chapati made with common ingredients like wheat flour, basic spices, dried kasuri methi, and curd. What makes it unique is the blend of simple spices mixed straight into the dough, so you don't need a curry or side dish to enjoy it. Simply pair it with raita or pickle for a quick and tasty meal. Whether for lunch, dinner, or a light snack, masala chapati is an excellent choice for both beginner and expert home cooks.

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups Wheat Flour
  • 1 tablespoon Dried Kasuri Methi Leaves
  • 1 teaspoon Cumin Seeds
  • 1 teaspoon Red Chilli powder
  • 1 teaspoon Black Pepper Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Garam Masala Powder
  • 2 teaspoon Salt to taste
  • ½ cup Curd
  • ¾ cup Water or as needed
  • 1 teaspoon Oil and more for cooking paratha

Instructions
 

  • Pre‑Prep  - In a large bowl, mix the dry ingredients (wheat flour, kasuri methi, and spice powders). Mix everything together using your hands or a spoon until the spices are evenly distributed. Create a small well in the center and add the curd. Begin mixing, then add water a bit at a time until you have a soft dough. When the dough is ready, drizzle about a teaspoon of oil over it, knead gently a few times, then cover with a plate or damp towel. Allow it to settle for at least 30 minutes so that the chapatis softens.
  • Cooking the Chapatis - After resting, divide the dough into equal portions, roughly the size of a small lemon. Dust your work area with flour and roll each ball out into a medium-thin circle. Don't worry if they aren't perfect; they'll still taste delicious. Preheat a tawa or flat pan to medium-high heat. Place the rolled chapati on a heated pan. If bubbles or bright spots show up, flip it. Drizzle a little oil or ghee around the edges, flip, and gently press with a spatula until both sides have attractive golden spots. Once cooked, remove and place on a dish.
  • Serving - Stack your cooked chapatis on a tray and cover with a nice kitchen towel to keep them warm and prevent them from drying. These masala chapatis are wonderful on their own, with pickle or plain curd. On busy days, fill them with sliced onions, shredded carrot, or cheese for a quick wrap. They are pretty adjustable, so feel free to eat them however you decide!
