Hey guys, this is how we make Chapatis in my home country Kenya(East Africa) and we call them 'Chapati' not 'Paratha' or 'Parota'. Actually 'Paratha' is a completely new and different name over here. Mostly we use All purpose flour, Oil, Water and salt or sugar. I understand every country has their own methods and name for this recipe. But over here we call them Chapatis and this is one of the methods we use. Atleast now I know about 'Paratha' I may try to make it next time. Thanks for all your comments though and stay blessed everyone🙏🏼

I was born and raised in Ohio, eating potatoes and thinking corn was a vegetable. However, my wife of 22 years is from East Africa and isn't very fond of what I eat. I know she LOVES chapati. I can't wait to try this recipe and surprise her when she comes home from work. Thanks!!!

I've been looking for this I used to roll out chapos as a young boy with my mum. I've found a few recipes, but they didn't seem right. The minute you oiled, rolled them lengthwise, and coiled them up, I KNEEWW this was God bless you! I'm going to surprise my Ugandan mother when she next visits. Love from Toronto, Canada!

THIS recipe is the TRUTH! My third time making chapatis following this recipe. We can safely say I am now a pro thanks to you Phil ❤️

I am a 13 years old i tried your recipe it is really good keep up the good work

Thank you!! I spent a month in Uganda (about 20 years ago) and had Chapati almost every day. I have never had a more delicious bread and can’t wait to try this recipe!!

I had no idea chapati was made in other countries … this shows we all come from the same origin. Chapati in india are flat bread and thicker version of chapati is paratha and the swirly ones are parotta .. N then we have Roti, Naan and Kulcha which are baked versions of Indian breads.. but this is so cool to know the similarities in foods across continents and cultures! ❤

[collinskirui]

After many years of trials of making soft chapatis, I have failed. But today, I can say I made it after following your guide. They were perfect. Everyone enjoyed them and I'm also happy having known the secret. Be blessed teacher.😊

Thanks for sharing this recipe Phil. I tried it twice with the second one today. Chapatis are called Rotis in South Africa and they are popular among the Indian community. The recipe is easy to follow and they taste good. However, both times I tried, the 1 cup water turned out not to be enough. The dough was still dry and powderish. So I had to add half a cup and the consistency came out as you presented on the video. I know this is an old video but I thought this could help others who may be willing to try out the recipe. I must also mention that I used cake flour instead, so maybe that could be the reason. Thank you for sharing with us. Love from 🇿🇦

I’m American and am dating a Kenyan. I’ve never had African food. This is one of the foods he talks about a lot so I want to make it for him. Thank you for explaining the recipe. I’m now subscribed to your channel. 🙂

I recently moved to the UK. Coming from an African community where men hardly engage in cooking, I couldn’t cook a thing. I always found all food on the table. Am now leaving alone and had to learn cooking.
When I came across Phil’s Kitchen, cooking became a hobby. Thank you Phil.

Hi Phil❤, I am 57 years old and never liked to make chapos, I have always been buying, I came across your video and I tried immediately, . They came out 100% and My family was was amazed, thanks a million, I will be making it atleast once a week. Your method was so easy. ❤

Chapati is made with whole wheat flour many years ago 🙏We call this recipe in Trinidad Paratha Thank you for sharing I will try your recipe soon. Good job and God bless your work. Every country has their own recipe and we respect that one. Our grand parents came from Calcutta and we learn about them paratha and Chapati. God bless you all enjoy your cooking. I respect you all. But I like sharing about our roti that’s all

[reginanjoroge]

Thank you Phil. I can finally make soft and layered chapos. I am wondering why all the hate. Why can't people use whole wheat if they like and call it what they call it in their part of the world or use plenty of oil or little and use whichever type of oil they like. Nobody is forcing them to accept it. This is art and you can alter it to your preference and taste. This is what we call it in East Africa i.e Tanzania, Uganda and in this case Kenya. We found it being called Chapati and we can use both whole or all purpose flour. This is our preference. East African Chapati.

Beautifully filmed and so well presented! From start to finish it took me about 2 hours and 15 minutes to make the 8 chapos. It was a very stress free process compared to others I have tried before. Hopefully I will get faster with practice and also get the shape right. Thank you so much.

Thanks Phil. I made these last night and they turned out pretty much exactly as yours! My son said they were the best that he had tasted! My only issue was that i couldn't gauge the temperature of the hot plate so a couple of them were a little hard. But the recipe was super easy to follow.

[esthernjogu]
