Hi Supermoms,
' Chapatti' is a tasty unleavened flatbread with or without layers. They are thicker than the Phulkas and thinner than the parathas. The chapattis are toasted on the hot tawa/pan with oil, ghee or butter. At home I make chapatti with ghee as it is very tasty. Ghee or Clarified butter when used in everyday cooking helps strengthen nerves according to 'Ayurveda'. Chapatti is made with Whole wheat flour that is high in fibre. It tastes great when eaten hot or cold.
So, they are most ideal for travel or tiffin box. Chapatti with Restaurant Style Mixed vegetable Curry is a great combination to try.
