To keep chapatis soft for hours, knead the dough well with warm water and a touch of oil, then let it rest for at least 30 minutes before rolling.
Cook them on a hot pan, flipping quickly to avoid over-drying.
Once done, brush lightly with ghee or oil to lock in moisture.
Stack the chapatis in a clean cloth-lined container, cover tightly, and store in an insulated casserole or airtight container.
The trapped steam keeps them soft and pliable.
Avoid leaving them uncovered, as exposure to air makes them hard and brittle within a short time.
