The best chapati in the world!!!!!!!!!

[The Ruler]

no,sister i used the oil for the mixture because i didnt have ghee and i used a spoon because there was no spatula

They're both fatty. The healthiest way is to have white and brown flour mixed. And make it the way my mum makes it: without any oil, ghee whatever. Simple flour + water + a pinch of salt (I think)... And it doesn't taste bad either.

As for the spoon/spatula, you could always just use your hand. -_-

Ewww you know there are bacterial germs in your hands,and you want to eat them?

 

[Cabdullahi]

^ use my hand? im not a caveman my hands cant tolerate the heat,inshallah i will add white and brown flour in the future,today i had the pastry flour

my mum uses her hands and mixes both flours i guess all mothers are the same

You'll need to knead with your hands.

Ah, the sensitive skin of a man... I see. v_v

Did the chapatti blow up like a balloon? That's probably the only amusing/fun part of it all.

 

[Cabdullahi]

yeah it blew up but the most fun part was kneading it.....it was something like sonny liston vs ali

sorry thats a fail, its not round

 

[Cabdullahi]

sorry thats a fail, its not round

outright harshness but i know why you said that!
you saw the pics and actually said to yourself i can't make this :enough!: what am i going to cook for my husband,my future family so you did what all envious ppl do 'its not good'


im kidding inshallah i will make it circular and i wont add oil and i will use my hand? instead of a spoon

 

[nebula]

oil gives it smoothness especially for kneading. and do you put in boiling water? because a spoon is needed for the beginning unless you manage not to burn your hands?
otherwise when its on the pan then i personally use one of them flat spoons with holes in so when pressing it puffs up fully

and btw i can totally make it your shapes, it took me a good 3+ years to get them near circle-ish and still not perfect :hiding:

 

[north_malaysian]

i love chapatis... it's only 60 cent per piece here... it's very famous in Malaysia...

 

[Intisar]

Hey you should try the Somali/Sijui way, it's much bigger and tastes a little more like sabayad.

 

[Sahabiyaat]

Alhm, it took me ages to learn, but with the amazing patience and guidance of my mom (and the dreaded thought of the look on my husbands face when i tell him i cant cook like his mother) motivated me and now my chpattis are a perfecr circle

 

[Tilmeez]

My first and only attempt a couple of weeks back

...after marriage...:X

 

[HopeFul]

Hahaha what shape is it!!!maybe you could invent your own shapes

good work though, I have been cooking for many years now and still cant do the chappati, just the fat type bread made in oven.. do you put yeast int he dough? how is the dough made and is the chapatti made very thin?

 

[saba muslimah]

Good ... Chapati hhmmm Dear j-u-n-i-o-r U Can say Paratha coz u used oil for making...!!:thumbs_up not bad ..! Keep it up.

well I enjoyed piks... Sumthing is better thn Nothing.. Yo Brother

Daym, I was expecting a real nice roti man, you dissapoint me Junior =P at least you know where the kitchen is though, alhamdulillah.

Tip: Dont aim to make the roti round, try making it square. I dont know why ppl like round ones, its gonna get mashed when you eat it anyway so make life easier and do em square...its much more easier, trust me. There will come a day when round roti's will be unheard of...Insha'Allah :statisfie

My mum would kill me if she was reading this :skeleton:

ha ha very funny,alot of people are disappointed but iam a happy person im going to make it more often infact im gonna make it today,and i think making the square is much easier


i guess i set the expectation to HIGH with the thread title maybe if i named the thread the worst chapati ever,i might have had more pleasing remarks

in malaysia our Chapatis (called as "Roti Capati" here) are round... because the square one is reserved for "Roti Murtabak" (with minced curried beef or chicken or mutton inside with diced potatoes)

Seriously try it the square way (I dont make square ones btw =P), square looks better than round btw for some reason, and its easier because when you're rolling the dough...you can fold the sides in slighty....all the way round....and do it like that, then you dont have to worry about getting the perfect ball shape for the round ones...hmm dunno if that makes sense actually...but for real, square roti's rule =D
