I spent a lot of time in Kenya at my previous job, and I fell in love with these wonderful chewy/flaky flatbreads. Thank you for putting this video out there. Your view counts should be orders of magnitude higher.

[@ChainBaker]

Thank you, Arnold!

So back again - I think this is the 3rd time I've made this one - my wife absolutely loves it so I make it when I'm in the need of brownie points! I've started to add some smokey paprika to the curry to give it a little more of the 'cooked over an open fire' kinda feel. But the recipe is so good. I love that it all fits together - like start making the dough - while its resting make the curry - while its cooking fry the Chapati - serve. And now my techniques are coming together I am not having to check the recipe every 30 sec :) - thanks Charlie

[@rsheridan6]

I just made this - so good! Underrated channel here, should have a lot more views.

[@ChainBaker]

Thank you so much for the kind words! :) I'm glad you enjoyed the recipe. Cheers!

[@natashahomestead]

Amazing video! Thank you

[@wonderoushistoryofclassicf9193]

My wife and I absolutely adore your channel. Fantastic presentations. She requests that you make a Haitian Patty or Samsa from Turkmenistan

[@ChainBaker]

I'm so glad you enjoy it. They both look like great little snacks. I've added them to my list. Cheers 😉

SO simple and easy! This recipe is totally ace! I made the chapati to go with another dish last night but used ghee instead of oil for the layers. Sooo good! We used the leftover chapati as wraps the next day. Will try it with the bean stew next time. I started baking about 2 months ago and your channel & website is my #1 for learning and on-point recipes. Thanks Charlie. Will leave you a tip when I can.

[@ChainBaker]

Ghee is a great choice! I'd say superior :) I'm glad you enjoyed it Julienne. Thank you so much for the support!

[@Satans_lil_helper]

Nice! This is simple cooking at its finest and I have every ingredient either in the pantry or in the garden. Definitely going to try this one.

[@ChainBaker]

Oftentimes the simplest meals are the best :) let me know how it goes when you do 😉

[@Jeepy2-LoveToBake]

When you posted the preview photo, I was especially intrigued with the bean stew. Looks delicious and I like that it is a one-pot meal. Thanks for recipe! I even found a bag of Borlotti (Cranberry) beans in the pantry. 😀

[@ChainBaker]

Even though I am a full time chef, at home I mostly eat one-pot meals. Love it :)

[@Jeepy2-LoveToBake]

@@ChainBaker Well, as my tomato plants are not producing right now, I'll used "canned" (eek!), but I do have some fresh swiss chard, arugula and kale in the garden and I will havest some and use in place of the cabbage (then I don't have to go to the market).

[@ChainBaker]

The beauty of this kind of meal is that you can use pretty much any vegetables you like or have :)

[@Jeepy2-LoveToBake]

@@ChainBaker as long as it is NOT cilantro, I'm good. 😋

[@ChainBaker]

So many people don't like it! I love it though 😄

[@roballan4661]

Thanks Charlie - another fantastic recipe - well 2 really! The flatbread turned out perfect and the veggie stew had plenty of punch and flavour without being a curry (though I do like curries!). I used a 3 bean mix which was kidney, pinto and black beans - when I do this one again I think I will try it with only black beans. Another great meal!

[@ChainBaker]

That is awesome! I'm so glad you enjoyed it :) If we're on a roll here perhaps you'd be interested in this too - kzbin.info/www/bejne/aXy3ga2ppbCbfqs 😅

[@darking2jarlie]

In India it's a common flatbread. My mom cooks it whenever she's tired. She doesn't use oil though on pan.

[@Felix-fk5qy]

Wow! I only heard about Indian chapatti but.. American chapatti?! Man... You are really creative. And that is why l love your channel 😍💜🙌

[@ChainBaker]

This kind of bread is popular all over the world :) Thank you so much!

[@gameediot]

Looks like a Malaysian Roti Canai, but much less oily. Can't wait to try this.

[@ChainBaker]

Yeah there are so many versions of this in different countries :) Let me know how it goes!

[@eagletlonglegs5234]

Chapati was introduced to East Africa when the British colonizers brought indentured servants from British India to build a railway. British India was what is present day south Asia. Other things introduced to British East Africa from British India were spices. There's several spices introduced from south Asia common in East African cooking like coriander, cumin, cinnamon, cardamom, and cloves.

A convex rolling pin is best for rolling round shapes.

[@godnasus]

When you do it with water and butter it's "bazlama" in Turkey :)

[@Jeepy2-LoveToBake]

I was asked if I could make a batch of Chapati to be taken to Burning Man this year (next week). As Charlie mentioned that we were stepping away from “white flour” for his next series of recipes, I realized that I had an unopened bag of Organic 7-grain Atta flour (it is a superfine flour, which I had purchased when I made the Aloo Paratha recipe he posted a while back). The Chapati recipe called for 200g of white bread flour and I had 1000g of Atta flour, so I made a 5x batch of dough - yikes!! As it was a multi-grain flour, I did have to add additional liquid to make it a workable dough. I also applied the No-knead method as I was not kneading the giant mass of dough I had made.😆 Divided into 24 equal portions, shaped into balls and placed in the fridge overnight. Today after work I completed the remainder of the recipe and lo and behold, I have 24 chapati cooling, to be wrapped and placed in the freezer. Photos have been posted Thanks, Charlie for this wonderful recipe - it is one of my daughter's favorite and now she and her husband make the Burundian Stew on their own. FYI, your Pain Au Levain, Deli Rye, Awesome Soft Pretzels, Silky Lime Tart and African Chapati will be enjoyed at Burning Man by my daughter, her husband and the members of their "camp". 🤩

[@jvallas]

Winning combo for sure. These are the times I wonder why I always insist on buying dry beans, because I have to wait to make the dish! (But not long with a pressure cooker.) That stew looks so good, I wish I had it in front of me.

[@ChainBaker]

It's worth having both at home at the same time just in case 😄 Thank you Judy! It was delicious :)

[@marjamerryflower]

You can prepare the whole bag of beans in one go. Freeze what you do not need right away. Saves time and energy ;-)

[@jvallas]

@@marjamerryflower That’s a great idea, except that I have a very small, overcrowded freezer. Otherwise, it would work!

Happy Halloween!

[@jeffk2503]

Hi Charlie. I cant seem to find a link for your recipes. I am Subscribed. I looked below the videos but no luck for a link to the recipes?

[@ChainBaker]

Right below the video where you can see the written description. You may need to click a little arrow pointing down. It should be on the right side of the screen 👍

[@ThePallidor]

No way to pre-ferment the wheat I assume? For better digestion.

[@ChainBaker]

Perhaps it could work. Just make the dough with yeast. The only issue is that it will be a lot harder to roll out thinly.

[@robinglover4278]

I love flat bread but always looks like the shape of the state of Texas!

[@ChainBaker]

Haha Texas chapati 😄 I know exactly what you mean and mine used to be the same. But the dough in this recipe is not as stretchy so it's pretty failsafe 😉

[@eagletlonglegs5234]

You can cheat by using the lid of a saucepan like a cookie cutter.

[@Anointed-q5e]

So Basically Your Making Homemade Tortillas In A Different Way💅🏽😂💗

[@ChainBaker]

I guess they're all related in some way :)

[@eagletlonglegs5234]

They taste different. Chapati is flaky with layers. Tortillas don't taste anything similar to chapati to me.

[@Kiryusha999]

I like that piece of chapati is not only a piece of bread but also a spoon and a fork 😁.

[@ChainBaker]

Yes! 😁

[@kaviyashanmugavel3213]

It resemble the south indian Parotta But it was also called flat bread and there are more variety in here Here Parotta's side dish was salna One day you should make Parotta in your channel 😂😅 5:24
