I like the simplicity of her chapatis; they are soft and ready to eat. I'm a mixture of Somali, Muswahili, and Canadian; these chapatis are in our DNA LOL, but her's are excellent and straightforward; the one my mother thought us was the original Somali one, which is more or a Paratha, and it takes a long time.

Do check your internet or Wikipedia.Also ...there are first and second generation natives who live in many parts of Africa and nurtured with the grains and flours locally blended...Thanks for the recipe and for your gesture in sharing blended recipes.....always welcome..
