In East Africa they’re called Chapati, looks like the name got lost in translation when the Indian immigrated to East Africa and chapati stuck

Nice video . Thx. Chapati is ideal food/bread with good food value , fiber , taste etc for everyone on earth and is Easy to digest .One can eat 8-10 chapatis easily when served hot. In India chapati is made in every home everyday. Now it's consumption is spreading all over the world because of its qualities.

Anishya Soman .....we do make these in India and Indians living abroad...we use a variety of flour mixes for softness and quality. Your information is wrong. Sorry. We make it here in USA with the following.....whole wheat...all purpose....tortilla mix ...multi grained flours....atta from the Indian stores...and with grained flours. 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..
