What is Chapati?

is a form of Indian flat bread, which is common on the whole continent, where it is also referred to as Chapaathi or Chapatti. Variations are also found in Africa and China. Chapati is a form of roti - or bread - and is often referred to as such. In particular, Chapatis differs from other flat breads included in the term roliots in that they must only be made of whole grain flour.

Bread similar to chapatis exist in the form of variations of roti. Some variations include Missi Roti, where two or more types of flour are combined to create a dough, and Bajira Roti, which uses pearl millet instead of flour. Tandoori Roti baked oven is identical to Chapati, except for cooking. The dough is rolled into a flat ring before cooking in a hot pan. During the cooking process, Chapati expands through the air bubbles, which form between two sides of bread with hot air that cooks the bread from the inside.

To speed up the inflation process, chapatis sometimes cooks partially in the pan and ends up in exposed flame. The chapatis cooked in this way is referred to as a phulka. The term can be roughly translated as an inflated meaning.

The generally accepted Chapati diameter is about six inches (15.2 centimeters), but may vary by area. This diameter is determined according to the size of standard commercially available melting - shallow metal pans especially suitable for cooking Chapatis - which are designed to fit on home stoves. Due to the handmade nature of bread, however, the size and shape of the chapati is inconsistent and can be adjusted to meet the requirements.

Often the accompaniment to eat can be used as a tool for food consumption. They can be used to pick up larger pieces of food and to collect foods with a more liquid consistency by creating them in the cones and using them as a shoulder blade. These are mainly food of northern areas of South Asia as an alternative toRice consumed in far southern and eastern regions of the continent.
