Chapatis are of Indian origin and a typical Kenyan bread made with whole wheat flour, water, and salt and can be used instead of bread, and I think it’s really very good!!!
It is usually cooked on a flat griddle called a tawa and often enjoyed with various curries, vegetables, or lentils.
They are known for their versatility, simplicity, and delicious taste, making them a beloved part of Indian cuisine.
Whenever you run out of bread or want to try a different kind of bread, I recommend you try making it.
They are quick to make and cook, no need for leavening, could it get any better?
They are simple, quick, and above all, will win everyone over.
Try it, and let me know!
Try making this recipe, and if you make this or any other of my recipes, send me the photos, and I will publish them on my page with your name.
