Chapati is also spelled as chapatti,
chappati, chapathi, or chappathi, also known as roti, safati, shabaati, phulka
and (in the Maldives) roshi. Chapatis
are made of whole-wheat flour known as atta, mixed into dough with water,
edible oil and optional salt in a mixing utensil called a parat, and is cooked
on a tava (flat skillet). Chapati dough is typically prepared with flour, salt
and water, kneaded with the knuckles of the hand made into a fist and left to
proof for at least 10 or 15 minutes to an hour for the gluten in the dough to
develop. After proofing, the dough becomes softer and more pliable. Small
portions of the dough are pinched off and formed into round balls that are
pressed between the two palms to form discs which are then dipped into flour
and rolled out on a circular rolling board (a chakla), using a rolling pin
known as a velan or belan, into a flat disc.The rolled-out dough is then
thrown on the preheated dry tava and cooked on both sides.

Soft and flavorful coconut chapati made with fresh coconut and whole wheat flour. A perfect side for curries or a light, wholesome meal on its own. I think if I had my way, I would eat chapati every day of my life for the rest of it. Somehow, Chapati never gets old! I always find ways to make Chapati that much more delicious and addictive, not that it needs any upgrade. I have always loved coconut, whether I am using it in drinks, rice, or just munching on it raw as I grate, hence today's recipe of Coconut Chapati. My memories of coconuts date back to when my mom used to buy lots of coconuts and cook it in pilaf rice. We had that traditional coconut grater that was made of wood. You would sit on it and pup half the coconut on a blade that was at the front and grate away. It was always fun, and we all looked forward to most weekends that we got the chance to do that. So take coconut and add Chapati, and you have a match made in heaven. The coconut made the dough so soft that it was easy to knead and did not take too much time to rest. As you cook the Chapati, you will be warmed up by the sweet aroma of coconut that emanates from the Chapati being cooked. So far I have made dhania chapati, wholewheat chapati, and plain chapati.
