East African Chapati (flat bread)

'Chapati' is a type of flat bread (similar to that of Indian roti) cooked almost daily in many african kitchen's and eaten with curries and soup!

Serve 6-10

What you will need:

• 2 cups of plain flour (white or brown)
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon of cooking oil
• warm water (enough to make a thick dough)

1. Mix flour and salt in a deep bowl
2. Slowly add enough warm water to make a thick dough
3. Add cooking oil
4. Sprinkle a clean bench top with flour (so the dough does not stick) and knead together (until well combined)
5. Return dough to the bowl, cover with a clean tea towel and rest for 30 minutes
6. Lightly grease a frying pan and put to medium heat
7. Divide dough into apple size portions and flatten (like a pancake)
8. One by one, add them to the frying pan and brown on each side
9. Place cooked chapati into a warm oven whilst preparing remaining ingredients.

Can be served with butter.

Enjoy!
