In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour and salt.
Gradually add the hot water while mixing until a soft dough begins to form.
Knead the dough for 5 to 7 minutes until smooth and pliable.
Cover and let the dough rest for 10 minutes.
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and roll each portion into a ball.
Roll each dough ball into a thin circle on a lightly floured surface.
Heat a skillet or tava over medium-high heat.
Cook each chapati for about 1 minute per side or until golden spots appear and the chapati puffs slightly.
Repeat with the remaining dough.
