2. Another secret to soft Chapatis is using fresh yogurt or milk instead of water, to make the dough! When you're done kneading the dough and it is smooth, wet your hand with water and run it all over the surface of the ball of dough. Cover with a damp cloth and set aside for half an hour before using.

3.There is one more trick if you don't think about calories you can add 3/4 of maida or all purpose flour to the chapati flour, u will get soft chapatis.

4.If you can add a pinch of sodium bicarbonate of soda(cooking soda ) to the chapati dough , chapatis will be so soft and crispy long time.
