Welcome To Swahili Food
Chapatis or ‘chapos’ as we call em in our part of the world – the awesome part of the world, are a perfect partner to stews and curries as well as grilled meats. They’re great for breakfast – fry an egg, add grated carrots, sliced onions, peppers and wrap in a chapati – The Ugandans call this a ‘Rolex” LOVE IT! So if you make chapatis and by chance some are left, you know what to make the next day 😉
Now a few tips, from my humble experience. Vegetable oil, ghee and crisco work well in this recipe – i have tried olive oil so if you do, let me know how that goes. I had once had this bright idea to try using butter and lets just say…we ate frisbees that night! So don’t try to use butter.
The water you use should be warm
