Ingredients

All-purpose Flour / Maida - 1 1/2 cups
Wheat Flour - 1/2 cup
Olive Oil - 6 tbsp 
Baking Powder  - 1/2 tsp 
Salt - as needed 
Warm Water - as need 


Method

In a bowl, mix both the flours, salt, baking powder.

Add olive oil and mix well using your finger tips. Slowly, add in warm water little by little and knead in to a smooth dough. Set aside this dough for 15 minutes. 

Then, divide the dough into 10 equal-sized balls.

Roll out these balls into thin rounds, (thinner than chapathis) using a little flour, if needed to ensure the dough doesn't stick to the base. 

Heat a griddle. On medium flame, toast the flattened tortillas on both sides until you slight golden dots starts to appear. Do not over cook.

• You may store these tortillas in a zip-lock bag in your freezer. They keep well for a few weeks.
