Indian bread - Chapatis

Chapatis ( flat whole wheat bread )are eaten at

nearly every meal in India specially the north.

It takes practice to master the exercise ,

specially to knead the dough to a correct consistency

and rolling out perfect discs.

My chapatis are not perfect circles

but all other ladies in my family are

expert chapatti makers.

You can make chapatis with a variety of flours and mix them up as well.

You have them with curries, and all sorts of veg and non veg dishes, pickles , dips, fillings and toppings.

They can be deep fried or stuffed with various

veg or non veg stuffing and herbs.

If you ferment the dough and bake it in an

oven you can get nans or tandoori rotis.

The whole wheat roti is a part of our

daily menu and it is very healthy. I don 't sift the bran which gives me fibre.

In the above photo you can see a chef

baking the chapatis on a non stick griddle called tava.

Cast iron griddles are mostly used.

The video shows you how to make chapatis.
