[@isaacjohnson615]

I love Paratha. I used to eat it when I was in Dubai. Delicious..... Made by Indians and Pakistanis

[@Dan-xx5jq]

The Goans brought it to Kenya. They are the largest group from South India. But it could be the Pakistanis as well, as they were a larger community than the Goans. It is so wonderful to see that the Kenyans have taken it and made it their own. Each community gets it's cuisine from other communities, like the tandoor oven is used all the way from Turkey to western China.

[@BEENIESMAMA]

In East Africa, it is chapati. As identified by the black Africans. The Asians(of Indian descent) would call it as you called it.

[@yvonnek8534]

Chef Wainaina, you did it again!!!!! I'm a loyal follower, and I wish KZbin would let people add pictures. I have tried all three of your chapati recipes, and this one wins! They came out PERFECTLY soft with Layers upon Layers and can I tell you how pretty they look?! My husband is shocked, I am shocked and my 2-year-old refused to eat dinner because she is teething, but when I offered her one of these chapattis, she ate a WHOLE chapati dry! That's how soft and perfect they are! I own a dessert company and one of the things the culinary world teaches you is that a good chef can teach anyone! My struggle with other "chef's / bloggers/ even individuals or family members" is that they may be good at something, but they can't teach anyone. The famous statement by Kenyans," me hupima na macho - I eyeball ingredients," drives me nuts. But, the thing I adore about you is that you give accurate measurements for anyone to attempt and isn't there to eyeball with you. From one chef to another....THANK YOU! On that note, I used a Kitchen Aid to mix the ingredients ( for those who are curious if it would work), I then put the dough on the counter, added some oil on my hands and manipulated it to a round ball. Placed in back in the mixer, covered the dough with cling wrap and went to run errands. The dough was resting for approximately 3 hours (unintentionally), but when I came home it was a breeze going forward. Now I will be making this chapati this way for the rest of my life. Question Chef, could you please give me measurements if I wanted to double and triple this recipe? I would appreciate it. Thank you!

[@hrcks3126]

Give couple punch while kneading the dough and make sure you put enough water

[@tejaswinizumbre]

I m not an expert but since I make chapatis a lot, I guess I can help with ur problem of hard chapatis .. First, how you knead is important.. give extra punches, knead the dough for a longer time.. to make the dough softer than you already do add few more tablespoons of water while kneading.. Second.. the flame for cooking chapatis is very VERY VERY CRUCIAL.. Basically, hardness comes from lower heat than needed.. Ideally, it should be medium high flame, more at the higher end.. not to high, but definitely not low or just medium.. Low heat and more cooking time makes them harder.. .. So, make it slightly at the higher end rather than medium.. because chapatis are very sensitive to heat changes.. even a slight lowering of flame while cooking makes them turn out hard.. Lowering the flame increases the time required to cook.. even a slightest increase in time like few seconds more, I mean, just few seconds more like 6 to 8 secs (perhaps even lesser) can make them hard.. So timing is very very very very crucial too. .. I cannot over exaggerate this point.. That means you need to be on your toes whole cooking.. Turning chapatis faster but not too frequently.. That brings us to the third point.. Third.. Timing.. As the amount of heat and time are related.. check out the above point.. Less heat and more time makes chapatis come out hard.. Ideally, chapatis should be cooked for less than a minute per side to in order to not make them hard.. Watch chapati making in real time to understand this factor.. Fourth point.. Frequency of turning.. While cooking chapatis don't turn them more often.. I limit it to only 2 turnings.. in some cases 3.. that's all.. with few seconds of cooking on medium high heat on each side.. that's all not more.. if you turn them over 3 times like 4 or 5, they will become hard.. You will need practice to get the sense of timing and flame. . experiment and you will get it.. The trick is as soon as you sense that it must be cooked, TURN it IMMEDIATELY without wasting time to other side, don't wait even for a second. . So, you need to be on your toes, alert.. Then few seconds later as soon as you think it's done turn them quickly or take them off the pan immediately.. Remember, generally peolple tend to underestimate the time taken to cook chapatis.. in other words, they are done faster than we estimate... Fifth but not least... it's very crucial how you store your chapatis as soon as they are out of the pan.. they should not be exposed openly without cover otherwise they become hard, they should not get cool soon.. Avoid airtight containers as they need some air to release water vapour... but put them in pot like utensils not on plates.. and cover the utensil immediately, you can use paper towels too.. may be a muslin cloth.. or a lid with holes, normal lids will do as long as it's not airtight... but the chapatis need to be covered when they r already hot.. Bottomline, overcooking, more cooking time, lesser heat than necessary, frequent turning, exposing them uncovered makes chapatis hard.. If you want try this experiment .. one day, just for fun, cook chapatis on a very very low heat for a very long time each side without burning, make them thin and you will end up with very hard, crunchy, breakable interesting chapatis like tortillas.. They are tasty too.. On the other hand, some day, try making them on very high heat turning them very very fast few times only without burning them and you will end up with very soft chapatis. . Experiment, take risks to learn more and you will know.... Hope these tips helps you to turn out soft chapatis... 🌸🌮

@N.A. Thank you for the actual clarification. In India this is also the processes of making chapati and paratha. Only the difference being that here no stove is used to steam the dough, except that sometimes lukewarm water is applied to prepare the dough...otherwise only cold water or milk is used . But after I went through most of the comments I discovered that most of the viewers know the actual process of making chapatis and the differences between chapatis and parathas. Thanks.

@@sutaparay9737 Thank you. I have seen Chapati making in India and have eaten also. Indian chapatis are usually a bit thick. But in Bangladesh we prefer very thin chapatis which blows from inside while heat frying over Tawa. Easily one can eat 4/5 chapatis with aloo and dim bhaji! You must be Bangali like me!

Plz respect this is the way Kenyans make chapati so each one do it their own way.
