Ingredients

  • 1 cup corn flour
  • ¾ cup water
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon oil

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a bowl, mix 1 cup corn flour and 0.5 tsp salt. Gradually add 0.75 cup water, stirring until a soft dough forms. If too sticky, add a little more flour; if too dry, add a splash of water.

  2. 2

    Divide the dough into 4 equal balls. On a lightly floured surface, press each ball into a 6 inch round, about 0.25 inch thick.

  3. 3

    Heat a griddle or skillet over medium-high heat. Place one flatbread on the hot surface and cook until bubbles form and the bottom is golden with char spots, about 2 minutes.

  4. 4

    Flip and cook the other side until cooked through and lightly charred, about 2 minutes more. Brush with 1 tbsp oil (divided) and keep warm while cooking the rest.

  5. 5

    Serve hot, plain or with butter, yogurt, or a curry.
