Easiest chapati recipe. Great results every-time! 

I tried this and trust me it was super soft !!! My kid who doesn’t like chapathis loved it after eating it. Thank you 😊

My mom taught me to cook chapatis and being the only boy in a family of four I am proud to say I make the best ones. I swear there is something special about chapati and beans let alone beef stew.

I could listen to a podcast or children’s book with that voice. So soothing! Great recipe!

Chapati Ingredients: 3 cups of plain flour 3 tablespoon of melted ghee 1 teaspoon salt 1 cup of water. Thanks for sharing. I can't wait to try it :-)

Before I found your recipe I was so intimidated about cooking chapos (many of the videos I watched had people releasing all their stress on chapo their dough!). Now cooking chapos for my fam is no big deal. Thank you!

I have always used the first method but gurrrrl... That second method is saving my life henceforth. Thank you for sharing such tasty recipes.

Ngoja. Waaaaiiit. This page has been here all this time and I've just been struggling with meal ideas for nothing?? Ancestors why? Also, props to you for being the first person I've ever seen using a mixer to make chapos lol

Hii can I give u a tip.... Just before rolling it the second time, sprinkle falf a pinch of ajwain seeds and little chopped coriander, then roll it... U will be amazed by the taste... We call this LACHHA PARATHA in India. Lachha means layers. Plz do try this way..

Love how Indian and Kenyan food is so similar. I miss my veggie rolls during this pandemic. Gonna try this

Let me tell you.. i tried this recipe and it came out perfect. It was soft, yummy and even tempted me to make more. Thank you Vanessa. This was worth it.

I used to make chapati that always came off as pseudo-pancakes, so this recipe is a life changer! Now I can enjoy my hummus even better. Thanks!

I made these tonight for dinner! So easy and absolutely amazing, I added fresh chopped cilantro to my dough!

Thank you for this video. I'm also glad you clarified this is East African as Indians don't call this chapati so if you go to Kenya, Tanzania etc this is what you'll get if you ask for a chapati. Soooo yummy!!

This recipe is gold, I got wonderful flakey soft chapatis on the first try 0 experience. I did make my own ghee which seemed to really make the dough soft!

Good morning from Canada. This Chapati recipe n my opinion wins a Gold Medal from me. It is the easiest and most zelicious chapatis I've seen on RU-vid. From my family to your family, have a blessed NewYear.

Now i've tried a lot of chapati recipes, but this is the first one that the chapatis came out soft on the inside and crunchy on the outside. Made me miss Kenya! Will definitely try this again, and a few of your other recipes. PS : i used ghee and this was so easy to follow!

Thank u so much for sharing.....I'm an African who grew up in the US. Your channel is life saving to a lot of us! Thanks once again😍

Hey Vanessa, you were right, Ghee does make all the difference, I had been using butter and they were a disaster... Really love your videos, so easy to follow and such a hit with my fam, please do more!! :)

Gave up on cooking chapati years ago after they kept coming out hard. But with this recipe, I am a chef again. Thanks dear.

I love that you showed how your mom does them and how you do them. These look so tasty. Thanks!

I started laughing so hard when she rolled out the entire dough. Like, why didn’t I think of that?!?!

I am from India, we eat Chapatis in all 3 meals, we make it with Wheat Flour.......what you have made in the video with Ghee is called a Parantha😊.....very nice tutorial👍👍👍

Not sure which was more relaxing… this beautiful snack, the jazz or your delightful voice Thanks for the cool teaching session Now I’m gonna make a Rolex 🍳

Can you imagine seeing this? You save my life! I always want to make Chapati but when i think of rolling one after other! Now the problem is solved. Thank you so much and Godbless you.

Being an Indian, we eat & make chapaties also called as a roti almost everyday. Jst we use whole wheat flour. We called it "Parantha" if we use ghee. Also we put ghee on Parantha after cooking it. N honestly it tastes delicious.

These chapatis must have gone to a private boarding school and grown up with both parents in Runda. Well done.

fab, just made these with olive oil instead of ghee and they came out perfectly. By the way l used my bosch food processor douch blade on low and added water gradully and it did a great job. Thanks for your great instructions. Oh and l cooked them on a crepemaker plate which took a while but was good.

A tip I learned from watching a BBC programme, upped my game in Chapati making. When you roll out and apply ghee/oil, sprinkle little flour so that the layers are maintained when it comes to the final roll.

You are a genius! I've always struggled with the amount of time it takes to roll each one individually! ☺️

My mom exactly exactly does this, instead of cutting and tucking in, she folds ghee smeared chapaathi into quarters until it fits in the fist and then rolls out the quarter folded dough into that final chapaathi. She also adds some milk, may be 25% water replaced with milk. Whole wheat flour too.

why is everybody looking at me? and why are they struggling to chew my chapatis i did everything😂😂

I think I was living under a rock all my life. I thought it's only us indians, Pakistani or Bangla have chapati in our cuisine.

Tried it using vegetable oil as I didn't have ghee, and they turned out great!

I didn't have ghee, so I did use butter slightly melted and it worked fine, they flaked beautifully and it wasn't messy at all.

Made these and they are without doubt the best I have ever made, incredible. im going to end up at 30 stone at this rate

Can't wait to try to make these! It's interesting how so many cultures have something similar with just slight variations. These remind me a little of Norwegian Lefsa and tortillas.

Learning how to cook all the delicious food for my husband. Channel’s like yours make it easy to learn and follow. I will try this today!! Thank you 🙏🏻

Thank you Vanessa for sharing you're soft chapati recipe. Mine came out perfect and both my fussy little eaters enjoyed them. My auntie always uses a combination of atta (wholemeal) flour and plain all purpose flour. She also adds a few table spoons of caster sugar. I definitely agree with the time saving method and will be doing this every-time from now on. Thanks again.

I'm Indian.This is more of a paratha not a chapati.The method is good by Indian standards.Nice work!!

Your method has saved my life! I don’t know why I haven’t seen this video sooner 😩. Thanks for sharing Vanessa!

I enjoyed this tutorial...I normally do the one by one bit..but now I will roll out the huge one, apply ghee and roll it up at once before slicing it to small individual balls...your chapatis look perfect...thank you!

I HAD TRIED THIS AFTER FINISHING THE VIDEO THEN I COOKED AND THEY TURNED OUT AMAZING AND SUPER SOFT AND THANKS FOR THE ADVICE

My mum makes it the circle coil way that's how all Somalis make it. We call it Sabaayad. But now I only ever do it your way because it is the easiest. And you didn't lie when you said great results every time. It IS fail proof! Thank you so much!

Your method is absolutely revolutionary! I will definitely give it a try and use ghee instead of butter.

When you rolled the first one I was like phew my mother's child! Then you did the main one and I was like, yaaaaaaaaaaaaas sis is me!!!! Nobody ain't got time 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I love your method. Will be incorporating it the next time the chapati gods come knocking.

This reminds me the days I used to live in Kampala!! Rolex was life❤️

Game changer!!! I used to have to brace myself before making chapatis because of how labour intense it can be. I've just made this and it was so easy and enjoyable to make! Thank you!!!!

Finally... I’ve spent the better part of my life trying to unearth that 3:1 ratio. Muchos gracias!

Plz use whole wheat flour it becomes chappathis. It’s healthy too. I love the way u did d whole Dough make life easier 😊😊😊 Thank u.

thank you so much sweetheart, I have learnt a lot from you today especially the folding style was so cool. I always have hard time evening the edges.

I’ve never seen this tuck method used. I will definitely try it. Thank you. Chapati is my quick go to at least once a week. Adding 1 cup besan flour 2 cups all purpose flour or 1 cup hemp flour 2 cups all purpose flour is a nutritious and less carb yet flavoursome alternative. 👍😃

This is amazing. OK: first off...I was looking for chapati recipes...I saw this and like...um...no wholemeal flour? Ghee at every step (no! too much!)? and then...what comes out is...TADA! A superduper easy paratha (=parotha=prata)! I am super impressed and I will be making this ALL THE TIME because I LOVE parathas. THANK YOU

This looks so delicious! We have something very similar in Ethiopian culture called Muluwah. It’s really interesting seeing other variation ... love the video 😍

Last time i cooked chapati they almost lost their teeth.🤧🤧 That's when i realized i really need to up my game- as a 26 year old. Btw I like your voice 😘😘

Here, I'm from Sri Lanka and i wanna say that this chapati recipe make my wishes true because actually i'm a huge fan of indian foods and chapati is one of my favourite 😋during the lockdown season i needed to eat chapti from anywhere but all the indian restaurants been closed☹️then i decided to make at home and then i see this video for my bless🙃the chapati was super smooth and all my family members had a delicious dinner🥰thank you soo much for sharing the recipe😊stay safe at home❤️

by far the best recipe online for these🙏🏼

I like the simplicity of her chapatis; they are soft and ready to eat. I'm a mixture of Somali, Muswahili, and Canadian; these chapatis are in our DNA LOL, but her's are excellent and straightforward; the one my mother thought us was the original Somali one, which is more or a Paratha, and it takes a long time.

Looks so yummy. Going to try definitely, but a bit concerned about the amount of ghee being used

Thanks I am taking care of my mum who cannot walk now and have to make her favorites as a guy so this recipe really helped me way better than how she wants it done she thinks it's her recipe thank you again for helping me works perfectly

In my past attempts, I have been making them with butter in the chapati and frying with them!! And the nect day they have always become hard!!!!! I am so glad I watched this, making them tonight, and I am never using butter ever hahaha I will use ghee and hope for the best, thank you for this tip, all channels I have watched never mentioned that butter makes them hard, I always thought you could just substitute to your liking, I wish I knew this secret before.

Nice Chapati's👌. What is the brand of the tawa(pan) that you used?

Your way seems like the right way to go...so much easier. Btw, loved hearing your voice...soo soothing.sounds almost like emma stone

It's the voice for me. I forgot we were cooking chapatis. I could listen to you all day. Literally.

Very simple with great results. I don't like cooking chapstick but this has encouraged me. Asante

Just watching this had me craving for chapo. asante sana beautiful sister.

for all who are outside Kenya, roti is also known as CHAPATI!

Looked yummy. This is normally how we make chapatis at home. Just less ghee an use whole wheat flour for a healthier version.( also uses less ghee/oil)

Yes I like your method,it is by far the best tutorial I have seen, and trust me I have been through a lot. I am definitely making chapati tonight . Thank you so much for sharing

Wow it's look yummy Kenya chapo i will try thanx very much beautifully gal

I lived in Kenya, Nairobi for 5 years and I miss this sooooo much so I'mma try it as a European teen in corona lockdown, wish me luck😂

Have tried this and they were AMAZINGGGG💯💯💯Thankyou soo much,God Bless you for Sharing this,👍🏾

I tried this recipe and they came out great! I added a couple tablespoons of sugar as well. Husband couldn’t stop talking about them.Thank you for sharing the recipe!

I love that not only does a mzungu make chapati, but with ghee! Sana.

In my chapatis I add salt and sugar who does that too, to achieve a balance of them all

Thank you for this it was very helpful for the first time ever my chapati came out perfect

Hi we make roti with boiling water so that it stays soft even till the next day. The roti you make has to be eaten off the tawa, which is great if you have time. Thank you take care lots of love from South Africa

You got me craving Chapati

Oh oil is substitute for ghee, thanks

Tried your recipe 3 times so far. It get better and better. You made it super easy. Thank you. My whole family loved the chapatis.

Hi. To make soft roti we don't use too much ghee or oil. We do use a little oil and boiling water to dough. When toasting on tawa, we use ghee on 1 side only. The roti remains soft even till the next day. Take care love from South Africa

oh my God!!! why are people so salty though.... somebody actually wants you to title your video "soft layered Swahili chapatis from Kenya that were originally from India" FOH with that bs..... your Indian ancestors culture fused with ours and we now make the chapatis our own way.....so no it's not a pratha or whatever..... ni chapo!!!! Ni chapati!!!! abeg..... commot this channel if you can't understand

I like your voice, wonderful

Nice video . Thx. Chapati is ideal food/bread with good food value , fiber , taste etc for everyone on earth and is Easy to digest .One can eat 8-10 chapatis easily when served hot. In India chapati is made in every home everyday. Now it's consumption is spreading all over the world because of its qualities.

You just make my life easy with your method of rolling and dividing chapati

why im i here again

@swahilifood please can I ask what brand of ghee do you use

I tried this recipe, the best chapati I have ever made

Love your method, never seen it done that way before. I usually roll it individually. Thanks😊

I tell my Kikuyu wife to remember to thank us for teaching Kenyans how to eat 😘.

Heard your living in Oman... what is it like, do they speak Swahili where you are or Arabic?

This looks like a delicious recipe. I will be trying it. Thank you. I would like to say, though, that these are parathas. Chapatis are not made with ghee and are not multi layered. Ghee is added on top after it comes off the fire. For those who want it . It fills with air during the cooking and looks like a little balloon! Parathas can’t swell up because of the ghee or oil, well, thanks for listening and I’m off now to try your recipe . Excited, been craving parathas. This looks really easy.

Just returned from our first trip to Kenya and fell in love with the food. So addicted to chapati and can’t wait to try making it.

Looks more like a paratrooper than a chapati. I thought chaps this were made from wheat flour (atta)

this is like mssmen a moroccan type of pancakes exactly that wtf

As a single dad this is a perfect and quick recipe when the kids crave chapos, Thanks! Can see that you have experience

your voice is so soothing ... thanks for the tutorial will try it out now

Shukran...new sub🙋

I just subscribed for your voice vanessa🤭

BEEN SLACKING TO TRY COOKING CHAPATI FOR 6YEARS BUT AFTER THIS WENT STRAIGH AHEAD AND TRIED IT.OMG IT WAS BETTER THAN LADIES OF THE HOUSE COOKING.

Gal, you have a special seat in heaven for helping out this Sis. I just made the most amazing chapos. Thank you so much.
