About Chapati
Swasthi Shreekanth’s single-layer chapati represents the Indian whole-wheat flatbread cooked with fat on a tawa. This version selects ghee for cooking, with water-based atta dough and optional salt and dough oil.
Whole wheat gives the bread its grain character, while ghee contributes a buttery richness. The simple seasoning leaves room for an accompanying dal or other savoury dishes.
The breads are soft and flexible, with browned areas from the pan. The publisher serves them hot or warm, stacked together rather than as a raised loaf.
