What is Chapatti?

A chapati is an unleavened Indian flatbread made from wheat flour. It is round and about 6 inches in diameter. It is made from a simple wheat dough, consisting mostly of flour and water. Once rolled thin, it is pan cooked and has a white color with golden brown spots that add a nutty flavor to this mild bread. Chapatis are served as a side with meals and are delicious dipped in sauces.

Ingredients

wheat flour

Wheat flour is a product made by finely milling wheat grains until they form a powder-like substance. Wheat flour is denser than powder and comes as whole wheat flour; a semi-dense flour with a beige color and full flavor. All- purpose flour is refined, white, lighter in texture and more bland in flavor. There are other varieties of wheat flour with these two being the most common. The flavor is mild and nutty. Wheat flour is used in the making of a huge number of foods across all cuisines. It is used as a binder as well as the basis for breads, baked goods and coating for breaded meats and vegetables. It is used in sauces and even some candies.

water

Water is a substance and chemical compound made up of hydrogen and oxygen. It is clear, fluid, flavorless and odorless. Water is a necessity in nearly every aspect of life, including cooking, baking and hydrating the human body. Water can be served as a cold beverage, or at any temperature comfortable to the mouth and skin.

margarine

Margarine is a non dairy imitation butter spread. It is made from vegetable oils and has the same consistency of butter. Margarine is a combination of vegetable oil, water and may contain a small amount of milk. The fat content of margarine varies, but often it must have a minimum of 80% fat to be considered a margarine spread. The spread is cream colored and has a buttery taste. Margarine is used in exactly the same way butter would be used.

salt

Salt is a mineral composed mostly of sodium chloride. It is the main flavoring used in food and is naturally occurring in certain foods, such as cheese, beets, meat and celery, plus many others. Salt is white and has finer granules than sugar. Many commercial salts include iodide, while others exclude it. Most salts are white, while some are naturally pale pink with minerals. Salt brings out the flavor of something and can create a tangy mouthfeel, if used in excess.

baking powder

Baking powder is a fine, white, powdery substance with a neutral smell and a very bland taste. It is an acid and used to instantly leaven baked goods. It reacts when it touches moisture and differs from yeast because of its instant leavening reaction. Baking powder is primarily used in flour-based baked goods to help cakes and cookies rise. Baking powder can be found in many non-yeast baked goods.
