Chapati is a beloved and traditional Kenyan dish, cherished for its soft, flaky texture and rich, comforting taste. The best part? It’s incredibly easy to make at home!
Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 2 tablespoons oil (plus extra for cooking)
- ¾ cup warm water
Instructions:
Prepare the Dough
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt and sugar.
Gradually add warm water while mixing until a dough forms.
Add the oil and knead for about 8–10 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for at least 30 minutes.
Divide and Roll
Divide the dough into small equal portions (about golf ball-sized).
Lightly dust a surface with flour and roll each ball into a thin, round chapati (about 6–8 inches in diameter).
Cook the Chapati
Heat a dry pan or skillet over medium-high heat.
Place a rolled-out chapati on the hot pan and cook for about 30 seconds until bubbles form.
Flip and cook for another 30 seconds, pressing gently with a spatula.
Flip once more and cook until both sides have golden brown spots.
Serve and Enjoy!
