[@MarkBH70]

I know it's good!!! My friend's mother sent it to him in the USA. African food is pretty much, if not totally, the best food I've ever eaten!!! Thank you, Ms. Lola!

[@dubisarmarydianah6987]

[@ferez1985]

You're a great tutor, unlike many other videos on KZbin you speak and explain very clearly, exactly what a dummy like needs to understand

[@kenyagirl525]

best chapati vid ever.... the way we make it.... its harder.....makes you stay longer the kitchen for hours ..... your ways are the simplest

[@andiedole4168]

My aunt went on a mission trip to Uganda and had chapati there. She absolutely loved it, but couldn't recreate it. I found your video while I was looking for a recipe and made it for her and she was so happy; she said it was just like what she had in Uganda and wouldn't stop thanking me. One happy new subscriber here :)

Was craving African food and only had a few food items left in the house. Perfect for simple snacks. Didn't do the extra steps with oil however chapati turned out wonderfull and it was my first time making these. Will definitely try with the oil as I'm curious to taste the difference. You have a subscriber!

[@valeriascala4752]

+Chef Lola's Kitchen Hi, I've tryed to make it but I get only 4 chapati. Does it have to be very thin? Thank you.

[@cheflolaskitchen]

+Valeria Scala Oh dear...this recipe should yield about 6 to 8 pieces depending on how thick or flat you want them. I guess you must have rolled out yours a bit on the thicker side.

[@valeriascala4752]

ok, and it's only 3 cup flour I have to use, right?

[@valeriascala4752]

Thanks for replying! ^^

[@valeriascala4752]

mine are very very thin actually I think they are about 3 millimeter.

[@rajikumaresan8792]

Hey Lola!! just got to see ur channel... East African Chapati s little different from our( Indian) procedure.. glad to see dis.. surely ll try to make by ur method for dinner.. best of luck for ur channel 🍀

[@cheflolaskitchen]

+Raji Kumaresan Thank you dear. That is very true there is a little difference from your procedure...though the East African version was inspired by the Indians but they've added a little twist to theirs. I will be glad to know how it turned out whenever you make it. :)

[@sachinnavneeth]

+Chef Lola's Kitchen its parotta of south india.. literally same

[@derramtolliver8872]

thanks it helped with my project!!!!

[@VinnieSutra]

You are amazing.

[@cheflolaskitchen]

Aww...thanks, Vinnie. You are really nice. :)

[@marvelledd]

Thank you for this recipe.

[@cheflolaskitchen]

You are welcome Marvelledd.

[@Daphneeoh]

@cheflolaskitchen I was wondering do you have to coil it up before letting it sit to rise before frying it?

[@cheflolaskitchen]

+Daphnee Oh No, It's optional. I only did that so that I can have a layered Chapati. If you don't care so much about having it in layers you can skip that step and cook it. It will taste and feel the same just with no layers.

[@rzashida]

Very simple. Thanks

[@cheflolaskitchen]

+rzashida You are welcome 😃

[@y.a.9085]

Yolanda Rhodes it's kachumbari

[@j4realrama812]

I follow your recepe and way you did then till my chapati is not soft when iroll it,is break what your advise to me

[@felisha3043]

I'm from Guyana and we called that ROTI, we also make it that exact same way...

[@Vin_1985]

Roti and chapati r almost similar similar and brought to East Africa and West Indies by indian immigrants. East African Chapatis looks more like Indian Paratha

[@user-vu8zy1pu3v]

@@Vin_1985 Indian immigrants? It It was Indian settlers who brang it

[@biftuu4119]

Thanks 😍😍😍😍😍🌷🌷🌷😉

[@martinsingh1159]

This is some what similar to Guyanese roti. But after is cooks, we clap it.

[@sandrasultan6496]

Perfect 👌

[@bolanlesanusi6726]

Thanks for sharing the video, but please how can i know the measurement so that it can come out well.

[@theorganizedcountrygirl4002]

Look yummy🤠

[@marie-chantalmary6223]

Is it okay if we use some milk and eggs ??

[@cheflolaskitchen]

+Marie-Chantal Nzeyimana I'm sorry I really don't know, because I've never tried it with Milk and Eggs.

[@nairobikenya_]

it gets very tough and dry

I'm Somali and we call this sabayad , and sometimes jabati

[@nalinikuppulingam2435]

I'm Nalini from Malaysia. Your flat bread looks delicious but this is not chapati. Chapati is only made with wheat flour but this was made with all purpose flour. So this is parotta. Tq

[@ebabz2102]

But locally in East Africa it's called Chapati.

[@g.aloysie8439]

so you don't add sugar, milk, nothing just water,salt and flour?

[@Giithiomi]

water should be warm, right?

[@cheflolaskitchen]

Yes Ng'ash Wakabang.

[@kyerabirwamugambi]

Asante sana

[@HandlebarOrionX]

I bet it would be tasty as a substitute for tortillas when making tacos or gorditas. Just flaky and softer.

[@cheflolaskitchen]

+Orion Ake (Handlebar-Orion X) Thant's right. You've just used the right choice of words to describe it.

[@chefyolie1434]

i love kenya foods chapati is sorta like makin mexican tortillas.

[@cheflolaskitchen]

That is absolutely right Yolanda. :)
