Directions
Punjabi Chapati / Chapatis, I am learning to cook Indian food once a week, and absolutely loving it This is one of my tutor’s recipes, when I brought them home everyone gobbled them up They were served with my tutor’s Lamb Khemma recipe You can use margarine or butter, depending on your dietary preference You can also make a large batch of dough, roll the chapatis out and freeze (uncooked) until required Also, you need to cover the dough tightly whilst it is resting, I put it in a ziplock bag or plastic container with a lid I didn’t do this once and the chapati just weren’t the same Finally, you can use 1/2 wholemeal & 1/2 plain flour if you can’t find chapati flour , It seems I still haven’t mastered the art of making indian breads I couldn’t find chapati flour, so I tried the half white, half wholemeal idea, and used ghee instead of normal butter to try and make it more authentic It also took me a while to get the frying technique down pat, but i did get it right in the end The taste was a little bland, so I will probably buy them in future, but thank you for the recipe, it was definately worth a try!, It seems I still haven’t mastered the art of making indian breads I couldn’t find chapati flour, so I tried the half white, half wholemeal idea, and used ghee instead of normal butter to try and make it more authentic It also took me a while to get the frying technique down pat, but i did get it right in the end The taste was a little bland, so I will probably buy them in future, but thank you for the recipe, it was definately worth a try!
