The chapatis (wheat roti) I make are like rubber. What can be done about it?

went to lahore and we couldnt find a pashtun place

STRANGE!!!!!

You couldn't find a Pashtun restaurant/dhaba in Lahore? Were you extremely hungry and in a hurry to eat at the first eatery you sight?

I dont understand how ppl can eat chapati and feel full. I with few frnds went to lahore and we couldnt find a pashtun place so had to eat at this place and they had chapatis and not the big tandoor roti we eat. We were 4 guys and we ate 50 chapatis and were not full. We usually eat unfiltered brown aata and our rotis are the size of large pizza and almost same thickness.

The astonishing fact is that we all 4 are skinny .

It seems Pashtuns have the genes of high eating capacity. Imran Khan is another example. In one of his books, former test cricketer, Sunil Gavaskar made a mention of how, on a tour to Australia, he spotted IK eating a heavy meal.

Use a touch of baking powder in your mix .
Will get rid of the rubbery texture

I will try all suggestions.

Wonder how so many people do it without any aid like milk or oil or warm/hot water or baking soda.

I didn't mean invention. I just meant learning to make chapati. Now I know some ways that don't work.
