My wife and I have perfected this method over the years, I make the dough, she rolls them out , I cook them them on my new non stick tawa and puff them up on my flipper ,then she butters them 👍 I have also found the perfect naan recipe using yeast, milk ,egg and melted butter that works perfectly on a tawa .

You are a very good Chapatti maker. Those looked delicious and fresh. Today I was using some mashed potato leftover and decided to make potato cakes. Basically it's the mash and enough plain flour to bring to a dough. I like to add a bit more salt too. Then I do the same as you do with the ball of potato/dough. Divide it into 4 balls. Roll out to about a quarter of an inch circle then put on a pre heated dry heavy frying pan. Allow it to 'dry' a little on the top, i.e. like you did with the chapatti changing colour, then flip over and like chapatti but not as much the potato cake will puff up. Then just like you do with the chapatti add butter. Yum. That was my breakfast today with scrambled eggs. It's also traditional to cut them into quarters and sometimes they are square. Very similar method and lovely when fresh. Bought ones are ok but not as tasty. You certainly are a Chapatti Queen 👑

The traditional hand made you named as chagora which used for keeping/serving the roti is known as chunger in our mother tongue ie saraiki.

The roti you prepared is nice round shaped and well puffed. After making a roti, you applied butter is marvelous.

In Himachal we keep the cooked rotis and bhaturus in a basket kind of thing with a lid and it is called Chakku.

When you become expert as you roll the chapati goes round

You made that look so simple. My nan use to make these back in the 70's and I always remember the butter on them. Thank you for taking the time to make this video.
