Chapati

Chapati is a popular flatbread enjoyed in many East African countries, often served as a side to stews, curries, or vegetables. It’s crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and incredibly versatile.

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

  • 3/4 cup warm water (adjust as needed)

  • Extra flour for rolling

Instructions:

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt.

  2. Gradually add warm water and knead until a smooth dough forms. Let it rest for 10-15 minutes.

  3. Divide the dough into small balls and roll each ball into a thin circle on a floured surface.

  4. Heat a skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Place the rolled dough onto the hot pan and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, until lightly golden and puffed.

  5. Brush the cooked chapati with a little vegetable oil for added softness.

Serving Suggestions:
Chapati is often served with vegetable stews, curries, or meats. It’s perfect for dipping into flavorful sauces.
