CARROT CHAPATI

Want to add vibrant color and taste to your simple chapati, why not add grated carrots! Chapati as you know has always been my favorite meals to cook and I always try to find ways to make them more delicious. Whether it is wholewheat or all purpose flour, chapati is a delicious meal that can be served for breakfast, lunch or even dinner. The best part is that chapati is great for warming up to eat the next day. To ensure that they do not dry up and become dry and hard the next day, you need to cook them soft and this method I used guarantees you soft chapati that will keep soft even for 3 days! 

COCONUT CHAPATI

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 with coconut date back to when mom used to buy lots of coconut and cook it in pilaf rice. We had that traditional coconut grater that was made with 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 emits from the chapati being cooked. So far I have made Dhania Chapati, Wholewheat Chapati and Plain Chapati and I still look forward to making many more!

DHANIA CHAPATI

Hey Lovelies,
It's already mid week! Can you believe that? Chapati is a favorite dish in many homes and ours is no exception. We eat this delicious flat bread on weekends and it never gets too repetitive because I always look forward to Sundays. Sundays is our unofficial Chapati Day! If you want to make chapati eating a new experience every single time, why not add other ingredients while cooking it? There are so many ways that you can make your chapati it's crazy how versatile chapati can be. Did you know you can even add spinach to your chapati? Now that I will try albeit with a little bit of a side eye. It sounds healthy though.So anyway my chapati today I will be adding Dhania (Cilantro/Coriander). I love the fresh aroma that Cilantro adds to chapatis. This herb is just too delicious, it gives food that ala carte feel with its vibrant green color and taste. Cilantro makes the chapatis softer and more tastier. I had fun making these Cilantro Chapatis and could not wait to eat them! We had the dhania chapatis with Yellow Beans stew and boy did we chop them down, fast. I kid you not, only three were left, whoever got up first the next morning got the chance to indulge in them with Tea. That's how good they were!

HEALTHY WHOLEWHEAT CHAPATI

In my quest to try and live healthy, I want to try out wholewheat foods. And since Chapati (flat bread) is one of my very favorite dishes to eat, I thought this time I would make Wholewheat Chapatis. Chapati making is a skill that needs lots of practice just like any other cooking technique. But I have discovered that the secret to making soft Chapatis is in using hot water. Hot water somehow softens the Flour before you begin kneading it. I must admit as a kid I never really liked 'brown Chapati' as we used to call wholewheat Chapatis, but as I grew up I guess I acquired a taste for them. They somehow became delicious. Maybe it was the way they were being cooked growing up. Wholewheat flour is kind of a challenge to work with when it comes to cooking Chapati.All the times I have cooked Wholewheat Chapati I have added white All Purpose Flour. I must try cooking the Chapati with all Wheat Flour and see whether they will hold. The ratio I use is usually 2 Cups Wholewheat Flour to 3/4 Cup White All Purpose Flour. This helps to bind the Flour while kneading and even cooking so that the Chapatis do not break apart. The other secret of making soft Chapatis is to knead with cooking oil as you finish. All I can say is that the Chapatis turned out soft and delicious. Try them out and let me know your experience with Wholewheat Chapatis.
