Chapati

During my stay in Uganda I wrote plenty of emails complaining to family and friends about how I was starving in Uganda. About how I could barely swallow the food and how much they tried to feed us. But I was not entirely truthful. I didn't hate all the food. There was one type of food I could not get enough of; Chapati. It was so delicious.



This is Mindy, Richard, and Anne making them in the kitchen in Uganda. Everyone in the house had a turn trying to make them, except for Nandrie and I. So today I looked up a recipe and tried to make them for myself.


First I mixed flour, water, oil, and salt together and let it sit for half an hour.


Then I rolled them into balls.


And rolled them out to fit in the frying pan.


Then I fried them up till they were cooked. Flipping once.


Don't they look good! And they tasted authentic too!! Next time I am going to us my George Foreman grill and hopefully it will be faster and maybe taste even better.

Warning: In Uganda this recipe would only feed one person, but in Canada it would probably feed a family of 6.
