In a bowl take all the ingredients (except oil to shallow fry) and mix everything well. Add required quantity of water, little at a time and knead into a soft dough. Cover and keep aside for 30 minutes.
Divide the dough into equal portions (I could make 9 rotis out of it). Take each portion and roll out into a circle by dusting some flour.
Heat 1 tsp. oil in a tawa / griddle and shallow fry the chapattis one at a time till they are well fried on both sides. Brush some more oil if required.
Fry the remaining rotis in the similar way and serve them hot with either yoghurt, pickle or butter.
