Chapati (roti)

चपाती · રોટલી · ಚಪಾತಿ

Pantry

Eaten fresh with anything; a day old it becomes the base of vaghareli rotli, phodnichi poli and roti churma.

What to know

Leftovers are the point in these dishes, not a compromise. A cooled, slightly dry roti tears into pieces that hold their shape in a tempering, where a fresh soft one collapses into paste.

Storing it: Wrapped in a cloth in a covered box, at room temperature for a day or refrigerated for two. Reheat on a dry tawa, never in standing water.
Allergens: gluten

Measures

1 piece ≈ 40 g

Cups here are the Indian 200 ml cup, not the 240 ml US cup — a common reason a recipe does not work. Weigh where you can; the grams are the figure we cook to.
