Chapati
Chapati is a staple flat bread of North India and Western India. It is rather thin, unleavened cooked dough. It is a type of roti.
Whilst kneading dough can be therapeutic, if time is your enemy, then the food processor is your friend.
Chapatis are the perfect accompaniment to most Indian dishes.
