- Chapati is a tasty and delicious unleavened flat bread similar to Indian parathas. The Kenyan style chapati is layered which makes it very soft and a very popular bread that can be had at anytime of day or with anything, Its perfect with stews, soups or even with a cup of chai ( tea).
Chapati making is a good exercise and the more you make chapos the better you become good at it. If you have a mixer it makes it easy and gives a better dough with a good consistency. but you can also do it by hand kneading, Its a little more work and time. When the dough is ready it should spring back when pressed with a thumb.
what you will need for this recipe:
3 lbs (1.36Kg ) or 9- 10 cups All Purpose Flour Standard measuring cup)
1.5 Tbsp. Kosher salt
1 Tbsp. Granulated sugar
1Qt ( 4 cups) Luke warm water
1/3 c vegetable oil
Note, for the salt, if you are using fine table salt use less.

I loooove this guy. The presentation, the positive mood, the energy in this guy is just infectious. As a bachelor, I usually cook chapatis that are almost as hard as wood like the one Jesus broke during the Last Supper. When eating, my jaws get tired before I finish the first one. No w I know which steps I've been missing.
Wow, thank you!
Sorry for laughing but this is funny
True story, Jedida 😎😎
@@mrmoneybagz You made me laugh. I am Somali and was making chapati since I was a teen. But I think there's always room for improvement. Good luck!
Hey @@hudamohamed6810, I've been a bit hesitant to give it another try coz I don't wanna end up eating only one, again. But I might just prepare some chapoz this weekend 😊😊.

I will us my mixer I watched how you do it and makes it easy. Love chapati.
I love that you add interesting background history to the cuisine. Africa is so fascinating with all the influences from other cultures …. From: 🇿🇦 South Africa
Chef, I just discovered you last night. I was born in Kenya to a Zimbabwean dad and Slovenian mom. Although I left there at 5years of age, I remember the chapatis fondly. Guess what? I made them today. I used half the recipe and made 8 beautifully soft and flaky chapatis. I used one for a breakfast wrap and got so inspired that I am currently making the Kenya style chicken curry, but using chicken thighs. I am so excited for lunch. I have subscribed to your channel and am looking forward to trying more of your concoctions. Peace and greetings and Kenyan, Slovenian and Zimbabwean in Washington DC.

So sweet
Hi chef, my first time here. Did you use cold water for the layered with chapatis or warm water?
@@janegatuha3359 You always use "warm: with flour.
@@deborahsang9482 long boot?
This is wow hummy ça me donner envie
Zo nice, soft roti .
Best Tutorial i have seen on how to do chapatis 100%
I remember many years ago when I am working in Arab country in Dubai,, chapati is one of our kind of bread so nice to eat, it's. Likely to eat with coffee or tea with milk or cheese and eggs with tomatoes or any thing you want to fair so good 👍👍❤️,, so love to eat in a meal.. 😊😊,, even in snack time or dinner,, any way you want.
Hi Rufina, yes chapatis go very well with almost everything.
Nice to see a gentleman in the kitchen.
Thanks, kitchens are awesome spaces too, delicious magic happens there.
Welldone keep up
In Zimbabwe we were colonised by the British so they used to have cooks in their homes mostly it was men not women...
Wow! I've always wanted to learn to make these! Thanks Chef!
@@shamisomakuvaro9393 Gordon Ramsey was one of them British chefs
Finally! someone good at cooking and teaching
Wow, thanks
The Kenyans are the best for Indian cuisine ... Once I visited a Restaurant in Nairobi... The waiter came and asked me for the order... I told him to bring whatever he wants... He smiled and came back after few minutes with nice chicken curry, spinach sag, and a hot bowl of soup with chapati and rice... He waited till I taste... So I tasted and was shocked... It tasted almost the same as the food my momma used to cook...I almost cried as It reminded me of my childhood... The waiter replied "I knew you would love this"
That's so nice of you, thanks for sharing that. Kenyan cuisine is a melting pot of so many cultures and Indian food plays a huge role .
@@chefwainaina You are right Chef
Habibi..happy to hear this about my motherland..welcome again and again...we are kind people
Touching story. I am not Indian, but years ago before we had the Internet, I took two 10 week courses at night school in Toronto that covered from the north to south of India. I need to start practicing the recipes again. I can cook a few of the Trinidadian Indian foods because we all cook the basic curry dishes there regardless of race.
Kenyan is NOT Indian. Get your facts straight.
Best tutorial I have have watched so far. Thank you chef.
Thanks Hosea, that's so nice of you 🙏🏿
Wow
This is amazing. Down south in India we make our chapattis like this too. And yes chapatti and tea is a heavenly combo!❤️
Thanks ARJ

My mother made this bread 60 years ago with lard . Thank you for reminding me of this beautiful bread
I Love the way you take the time to show most of the process of making Chapati. Many other short videos I've watched make it look so easy, but when I try it out thinking my kids dinner will be ready in 15 minutes, I get disappointed and frustrated with myself. So thank you for showing us the whole labor of love of making Chapati! I'll try your recipe.❤
Love from India. You are wonderful 😀
Oh my goodness, U have me hungry over here😋🤤 .....bread is my weakness😍

You welcome, hope you can give he recipe a try.
It's so amazing to see how different cultures make their Roti.We make it a bit different in Trinidad🇹🇹 but this looks great,well done👏🏼
buss-up-shot without baking powder, wow, who would of thought!
@@melissamalahowie127
East Indians don't add baking powder to all purpose flour when making chapati and parathas etc.
Nice
I am from Trinidad. I have tried your paratha and bussup shot recipes but I had to do them a few times, but this came out perfect with one try. They are a bit different though. They are lighter and thinner for homemade.
Amazing 😢
Hi Wainsina,
Thank you for sharing the original procedure of making chapati. The rolling, oiling and rolling it like a snake reminds me how my mum taught us in the sixties....we could afford to eat chapati onlly at Christmas.. was a delicacy! A great day to look forward to in a year. Good memories!
Yes, you are right
Very delicious I like it
Wow😍
I am an Indian from Trinidad and we make chapati like that but we call it paratas or roti delicious well done
Thank you so much Kawal, yes they are similar and qere introduced to Kenya by Indians during the colonial times.
@@chefwainaina do you know ancient indian civilization was made by your tribe from kenya and all their Gods are kenyan? If not that why you said what you said about Kenya chapati. Black man know theyself. Geitheka mono.
You're good brother cook of chapos. Amazing. Keep going we will give you thumbs up every time.
Thats so nice of you, asante sanaa.
@@chefwainaina .
I like this video chef W. I have known cooking for all my life but when it came to chapati, it was alway a challenge going step by step. I had rather prepared mukimo than chapati but now am well sorted. Thank you
I love chapati with cheese or chocolate spreading nice cook you are sir.. I will cook that you make
Sounds great!
Hi sir what kind flor did you use?
@@dianalopez2024 I use All purpose wheat flour (US), ,bread flour will also yield awesome chapati. Thanks for asking , enjoy 😋
Your wife must be super proud of you 💞😘thnx for sharing
c
Beautiful brings back memories of my mother, you use vegetable oil and she used butter. Crispy and light, keep up the good work.
Awesome, food memories are the best, as for the oil to use its all about preferences, definitely butter is the best taste wise.
Looks very yummy 🤤❤
Gotta try them out
Wow. I surely going to try this. This is the first time seeing this version.
You're so kind, & you have such a great channel sir, you deserve millions and millions of subscribers❤❤❤❤
JD thanks man, am sure they are on the way coming, just can't wait to welcome them all here.

My boyfriend is Kenyan and I am white. I made chapati and beef rice pilau tonight for him as a surprise, using your videos. I had never had either dish, but he said it was fantastic! You are a very good teacher and I will keep cooking using your videos to help me. He liked the dinner so much he asked me to post here and tell you how much he liked it!

Wow, this is a mazing. I watched the video and tried it at home yesterday. The results were remarkable. I wish I could add the pictures here. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks sor sharing, my goodness im married a kenyan guy in Kenya from Mombasa i used to eat chapati but i never tried to do it my in-laws did with Ghee instead of oil.Anyways everyone has own style in cooking the expert did not used measurements just because the amount you did is 3 kilo of flour if im not mistaken lol 😆 ints a lots good luck Chef 😉
How good they are,,I'm going to try it at hm wow🎉🎉
Thank you so much for the lesson...I've tried it today and it was just massive 🎉🎉🎉I had never made delicious chapatis like today's ❤❤❤❤❤
Love it, you've excited that proper. No more notifications less. Love all of it, you and your skill👌
Thank you so much June, appreciate it 🙏🏿
Chef Wainaina, thanks for sharing your recipe. I am a Kenyan living in Canada. The King Arthur's All Purpose flour here has lots of gluten which makes it difficult to cook Chapatis. Only recently I discovered that the King Arthur's Pastry and Cake flour is very similar to the AP flour in Kenya and so ideal for chapatis
Thank you Aniger for the King Arthur pastry & cake flour recommendation. I noticed the all purpose flour was causing the chapatis to harden and now that I know that the All purpose Flour was the culprit, it makes perfect sense. Be blessed!
This recipe changed my game. Chapatis have never been this easy to make.
Thanks Priscilla, am glad this recipe has helped you to change your chapati game as you put it. This inspires me to share even more recipes. So be sure to visit back for more !!
Chapoz, my best bread.
