I am an Indian and I made this exactly like this and it tasted excellent, much better than any Paratha i make, out of respect for you Kenyan roots and your wonderful talent, I have no hesitation in calling it my Kenyan Chappati! Thank you sister 🙏
My aunt was from Azerbaijan origin, she made same recipe many times only added ground spices of turmeric, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, pepper, chopped parsley. Served with maple syrup or honey or milk. Just shows, how united we are in cooking. 🇨🇦🇨🇦
As an indian from South Africa, i am proud of my indian heritage and I'm proud of anyone who cooks indian food. People get so sensitive when another culture cooks their national dishes but I am proud when its spread across the world to enjoy. Stop being so sensitive people. I also did not know that indians lived in Kenya for so many years. Your chapati looks absolutely delicious and thank you so much for sharing the recipe with us. Keep making these amazing videos. Lotsa love to you ❤happy cooking!
She is calling it as an Indian dish coz firstly it was made by Indians who were brought there as a slave 300 yrs ago by colonials later on they became part of that country and their cuisine too.
This is our very Indian style of parathas. We usually add coriander leaves, and green chillies too 😀 loved your style. Please do not waste the pumpkin water . It can easily be added to the dough for securing the nutrients.
Very nice recipe. Really appreciate the way a non Indian lady making such silky chapaties👌👌 one suggestion though, instead of boiling in water and throwing that water away, steam the pumpkin pieces in steamer or cooker, to avoid the loss of nutrients.
In case Indians are wondering why Kenyans are calling it a Kenyan recipe, it's because of Kenya's huge Indian population. Thousands of Indians migrated there 300 years ago to help build/develop the country. Actually, they might have been brought there as slaves by the British initially to build the railway. There's also many Hindu temples throughout Africa as well.
They were there before Britain. They were part of the Islamic commerce and slave trade along the coast. The British probably added during their own time, but trade from one end to the other of the Indian Ocean was happening along the Swahili coast long before that, even including Chinese delegates at one point.
Please do try and replace the all purpose flour, with fibre rich whole wheat grain. It's superbly healthy, and great for texture, also easier to knead, easier to roll, and manage! Thank you. Lots of love from India!
In the Caribbean this would be called buss-up-shot. It amazes me how a recipe can travel the world and adapt to the place where people settle in their new homes while being familiar. I'm going to have to give this a try!
These look delicious, I'm definitely going to try them. I love the little tips like pressing with the spatula. HUGE CONGRATULATIONS FOR BEING PLANET FRIENDLY AND USING A CLEAN DISH TOWEL AND NOT PLASTIC WRAP TO COVER YOUR DOUGH AND USING A PURE METAL PAN AND NOT A NON-STICK!!!!!
This looks amazing! I had some volunteer pumpkins this year, and this recipe is first on my list. I don't use vegetable oil. I will be using butter. Thank you for sharing.
I was amazed to hear chapati from someone not from India😊. It was history unfolding as i read the comments about Indians going to Kenya 300 years ago. It is fascinating to learn world history through cuisines. I loved the clear and systematic video of pumpkin chapati. ❤❤❤❤❤❤I am surely going to try it. Now I know we have one thing common with Kenyans. I loved the slit and roll method. In india we use the second method❤❤❤
Lovely indeed we in india call them kulcha and in mumbai ghadichya polya these chapatis hve 3/4layers.i like mychapatis in layers too.i like the way you instruct such a melodious sft voice
We just use finely grated pumpkin and add it to the flour. The pumpkin cooks along with the chapathi and tastes well also. Also, we avoid using maida (all purpose flour) and use atta (whole wheat flour) instead. That's a healthier alternative
Coriander - cilantro, same thing. It is one of those herbs that either one loves, or it does not appeal at all. I am one of the ones who does not care for the taste. When I see a recipe calling for coriander/cilantro, I simply use parsley or celery leaves.
Hey in Maharashtra, India we have similar tradinal recipe but wheat flour rather then APF , besides sugar we use jaggery & inted oil we use ghee (clarified butter) and pinch of salt and cardamom powder. It tastes awesome and have beautiful fragrance. We can have with potato dry curry or simply plain with more ghee.
Good nutritious recipe when you peel pumkin dont throw away the skin , just grind it fine put oil in a pot temper it with cumin seeds put the skin in it saute till its dry put some seasame seeds or ground nut powder add salt red chilli flakes and a side dish with the pumpkin chapatis ready . nothing goes waste and full nutritional benifite .
Your version is just lovely- more fiber and Vit A. It isn’t unusual to add stuff to prata or chappati dough. It is still prata/ chappati. Thank you. My mom used to add cooked mashed peas or cooked mashed eggplant, sandwich between two chappatis, roll them out gently and pan fry them. Looking forward to more recipes.
It was indeed an eye opener for me to know that Kenyans call it the way we do and we are all over the world longer than we think. Thank you so much for the recipe. 😊
Thank you for the time and video. I can't wait to try this, and plan to report back when I do. Meanwhile, I need to share a tip I got many years ago from a Colombian friend. I was also taught to cook pumpkin the hard way, and have since seen the light. You could save yourself much time, trouble, and energy, by simply steaming or boiling the unpeeled large chunks of pumpkin (butternut squash) for the same amount of time. Let the chunks cool slightly, and they will be much easier to peel, and will have retained more of their nutrients, which are higher closer to the skin. In fact, when my friend uses pumpkin in recipes for stews or soup, she leaves the peel in, and it's softened enough to provide a chewy texture and more nutrition. Thanks again, and best regards.
Yes in East Africa we called these chapati, and here in Kenya you will find many street vendors cooking & selling them in most streets and eat with smokies famously known as Smocha (shorterm from smokie&chapati) they add kachumbari and this snack is amazing!!!! In all hotels (except some foreign based cuisines) & cafes you will get chapatis.
Wow I never know that African have so many South Asian dish sorry but parotta was first came in malaysia not in India in malaysia they first invented this food after some of our indian bring this dish to india
@@alfiemandella2258 Indians came to East Africa over 100 years ago as traders and others were brought by the British colonizers as labourers. So, we've adopted many Indian dishes such as chapati, samosa, bhajia, Biryani, pilau, etc.
@@thankampaulson1461 the swahili term for uncooked salad consisting of chopped tomatoes, onions, and chili peppers that us Kenyans put in sausages, smokies, chips, african sausage, samosa, and other street foods
Interesting! In Kerala state of India, especially in the Malabar region we cut cucumber, onions, tomatoes and mix it in beaten curd with salt and chilli and call it ‘Kachumber’!! Usually served with biriyani😅
We make pumpkin puris, adding cooked 1 cup pumpkin and Jaggery as required to wheat flour, make a bit hard dough , make small chapati like and deep fry it,,, very tasty.. try this too😊
These look delicious 😋 If you roast the squash, whichever type you choose, it will be slightly drier and considerably sweeter than if it's boiled. Cut the squash in half lengthwise, scoop out the innards, wipe with a neutral oil, and roast at 400° F until tender, 40 min or so
This looks so delicious! It is pumpkin season so I'm going to try out your recipe. My usual favorites are with potato filling (aloo paratha) or with dried fenugreek mixed with the flour. Recently I've been experimenting with other vegetables too, like beetroots and carrots. Thanks for sharing your recipe. Love from India 💕
Wow! very nice recipe. I love the way you patiently explained every step, to cook a traditional dish which is so familiar in my country too ! Thank you... much love!
I am Indian, never seen/heard of pumpkin chapati before. Healthy-ish and great way to get veggies in your children’s diet..can also think of this as dessert version… 😋
Love to hear the word chapati and see the traditional food overseas❤ We prepare these chapatis in the west of india using wheat flour, jaggery and pumpkin😊
Oh my goodness, I need your knife!! I love all kinds of winter squash and pumpkins and cook them often. They are such a pain l to peel even though I have a good Chinese cleaver to do the job. Maybe I’m just lazy. I’ll make this soon because I have two beautiful butternut squashes I grew in containers on my deck this summer. I can’t wait to make these! I do have a great pumpkin bolani recipe that I make pretty often in the fall and winter, but this looks amazing.
In India, Chapatis are made without using any oil and Parathas are always with oil as you made here. Some Parathas are made without layers and some with layers as you have shown here. Btw, I must try your style Pumpkin-Parathas at home for sure. Thanks for this video.
@@paulasir123 Dear, it all depends on from which region of India/Pakistan/Bangladesh/Nepal is making this chapatis. We all are so different in making the same stuff but argue that "Mine is the best or original". So, Chapatis with ghee/oil and Parathas without any oil - is okay, as long as it tastes good.
I was wondering what to do with my homegrown pumpkin after trying so many different recipes. Thank you for sharing this recipe! I’m definitely going to try this next!
Whoever wasn't nice to u in their comments was out of their freakin minds! This came out amazing! Also, sister here🇷🇼🇷🇼 loooves your recipes, how graceful you seem, and how clean and neat and organized you and everything in your kitchen is. I mean, look at them fingers/nails!
Kenya has a huge Indian population that migrated there 200 years ago to help build/develop the country. They might have been brought there as slaves initially by the British. This is why they have many Indian dishes in Kenya, South Africa, Ghana etc. as well as Hindu temples throughout Africa.
In Pakistan apart from cutting meat and cooking meat what other cuisines do you have ?? Practically nothing. With so much adulteration even in meat, you don't know what you get to eat.....donkey meat or dog meat instead of goat meat or sheep meat. I get so surprised when Pakistanis come to India and are shocked to see so many of our commonly used recipes. And they go finger licking.
This is a brilliant reciepe sister! I appreciate the Kenyan chapati! Thnks for sharing it. My favorite method is no2, but we dont use a roller. We flatten it with hands. This ensures very nice layers.
That looks so delicious and how you made that you put in the best ingredients with the squash I thought that was excellent thank you. I’m an American woman and I am vegan and I like different bread. Thank you.
Hey! I like the way you prepared the dough. I’ll definitely try your method to get layers. I usually do something like second method. I use butter and then fold front and then back in alternate manner instead of rolling back (search for lachha paratha recipe). In this way I get more layers.
Very original yummy recipe. The way you demonstrated is perfect. I make plain chappati your way but never added squash pumpkin to it. Must try it soon. Your method tells me it is delicious. Thank you lovely lady. ❤
I'm Indian by birth, American by naturalization, and consider myself a global citizen. I love it that we cook foods from another region. So many new and delicious creations have been made. Otherwise how are we going to have new versions of the original? 💗
You can use SOME of the water, Krishna...if you use too much the chapati will be too starchy but maybe that's how you make paratha? And most of the nutrients in pumpkin is in the seeds. 😋
Hi Phils Kitchen thank you so much for your Receipe of making Chapati . I stopped making them because they would be hard. This my second time and tried Butternut Chapatis Yummy, I've made with a Ndengu Stew to Eat!!!! Thank you so much!!!❤❤ Blessings
You are so sweet with your initial explanation! This is a really good idea; I would call it a pumpkin lacchha paratha in my language! I also saw people making pumpkin rotis (which incidentally, most Indians would possibly confuse with chapatis, but 'chapati' is just a blanket term in Hindi for any flatbread).
Its nice to know that generations has brought us together by name of Chapati, yes there are different names to what you prepare with, in India toward the northern parts of India they call it Paratha , as you have added pumpkin to it, here it is Potatoes, or spinach, or Cauliflower, this makes a healthy meals for those who work in office and school children can have it for lunch and especially when you travel by train or bus would not like to eat outside food this the best family meal you can relish with Yogurt, Sweet cream, for a little tingy feeling taste it with Indian lime pickle with it, Now we will have the chapati for Halloween as you have used Pumpkin🎃🎃🎃just kidding have a awesome time with much recipes for me to see.
Its our traditional Maharashtrian recipie known as Bhoplyache Gharage. Loved the way you rolled it. 👍We add jaggary instead of sugar, whole wheat flour and small amount of besan.. Thanks for sharing. 🌹
Hi Phil, Jambo.. Habari Yako.. I enjoyed watching ur pumpkin Paratha..🥰 It’s been 40+ years that I left Kenya 🇰🇪 lovely country.. Harambe Nyayo was the jubilant way the Kenyans celebrated their festivals. I’ll try this paratha, Phil n lots of love from India 🇮🇳😀
Thank you for sharing this recipe. I tried it and the 'chapatis' turned out really nice, I will be making them again for sure. I was born in Nairobi but live in the UK now, have visited Kenya a while ago, I have shared your recipe with others to enjoy too! 😀
In South India, it's called Chapathi and in the North, it's called Parantha... However, Parota is prepared from all-purpose flour (Maida), whereas for Chapathi or Parantha, we use wheat flour...
😊This is calked parathas in India.Wondeeful use of pumpkin.We make a sweet from boiled and mashed pumpkin, with jaggery,cardamom powder.Sometimes the pumpkin is grated .Use the water for kneading the dough,add in curries,soups as it is nutritious.
Greetings from Bangalore, India. I just chanced upon your video and I really liked it. This is our layered paratha, made with either wheat flour or all purpose flour. Sometimes we mix both flours. Apart from pumpkin we add different vegetables to make similar parathas. Often we add coriander leaves or fenugreek leaves and other such herbs. Very tasty and healthy. You have shown both techniques very nicely. I know that Kenya has a large population of those who have roots in India and as such many dishes in Kenya can be related to Indian dishes. Thank you for a lovely video.
Your chapatis look so yummy 😋. I’m definitely going to try them but would like to add cinnamon and see how it tastes. Regards from your neighbour South Africa 🇿🇦
Such a nice recipe of Pumpkin chappati. In pakistan we use different words and chappati is one of tgem. The chappatis, rotis and phulkas are cooked withòut oil or ghee and the paratha is made with ghee or oil. And the dough for all these is made with whole wheat flour. So happy to know that its called chappati in Kenya like Pakistan.
When you roll out the dough, you butter it, then you sprinkle some flour over it, then you roll them out to form the ball, when you cook them, they will be flaky. But you did a good job. Bravo
I'm eating chapatis for dinner. What a coincidence, I'll be preparing the pumpkin/butter nut chapatis next. Phil thanks for this recipe. 🤭 They look so soft.
Pumpkin is so nutritious. I would definitely try this recipe though i might try using whole wheat flour. I too love to see Non-Indians coming up with awesome Indian recipes. Thank you for this delicious looking chapati. I like rolling my parathas using the 1st method u used.
This aint chapati, it is rather parathas. Chapati is made out of wheat flour and not fried in oil. This is very much an indian recipe.. but i like the fact you tried making it.
If you roast or boil the squash with the peel on (cut stem, cut down through the middle and place it pumpkin side down in the pan), you can peel it easily and cut it easily too.
Wonderful idea - I have a tin of sweet potato that i want to try this way. I made farmer cheese this morning, or paneer as some may say, so I'll try flavoring some of it to spread on the chapati.
I have been to Kenya twice for a duration of 2 months every time. It was a very nice experience. Kenyan people are very friendly and beautiful. The country is very beautiful too. My husband was working there for 5 years and it's our dream to visit Kenya once more in our life. Thanks for sharing the recipe. You can try this with sweet potato as well. That comes out very well too. Lots of love and good wishes ❤❤❤
If you enjoyed watching this video, don't forget to give it a like/thumbsup...Happy cooking❤
I will try this and with other vegetables also

I make these with potatoes and sometimes with puréed carrots.

This is a brilliant reciepe sister! I appreciate the Kenyan chapati! Thnks for sharing it. My favorite method is no2, but we dont use a roller. We flatten it with hands. This ensures very nice layers.
As an Indian......... I am soooooo impressed........ Keep it up....... Its a great recipe 👍🙏🙏👏👏👏

I like your version of chapatis, It is always good to see options. Thanks!
It's 22.30pm in S A. I just made them. Yummmmmmyyyyyyy. It's delicious. I used butter ghee instead of vegetable oil. Than you Phil😊❤
That looks so delicious and how you made that you put in the best ingredients with the squash I thought that was excellent thank you. I’m an American woman and I am vegan and I like different bread. Thank you.
Hey! I like the way you prepared the dough. I’ll definitely try your method to get layers. I usually do something like second method. I use butter and then fold front and then back in alternate manner instead of rolling back (search for lachha paratha recipe). In this way I get more layers.
Very original yummy recipe. The way you demonstrated is perfect. I make plain chappati your way but never added squash pumpkin to it. Must try it soon. Your method tells me it is delicious. Thank you lovely lady. ❤
I'm Indian by birth, American by naturalization, and consider myself a global citizen. I love it that we cook foods from another region. So many new and delicious creations have been made. Otherwise how are we going to have new versions of the original? 💗
I do the 2nd one.I am Indonesian punjabi.
It looks yummy.
I make sweet potatoes, avacado chapatis.🥰
I would use the water from boiling the pumpkin to make my dough . You lose nutrients from the pumpkin if you throw that water away !
niceee, i will try that next🙏🏼
You can use SOME of the water, Krishna...if you use too much the chapati will be too starchy but maybe that's how you make paratha? And most of the nutrients in pumpkin is in the seeds. 😋

Yunnn😮n😊uoyui😅
We love chapati
Very true
Yeap this is chapati we also make in our country India... Proud to see our staple food becoming popular ... Same like noodles but it's more healthy
Hi Phils Kitchen thank you so much for your Receipe of making Chapati . I stopped making them because they would be hard. This my second time and tried Butternut Chapatis Yummy, I've made with a Ndengu Stew to Eat!!!! Thank you so much!!!❤❤ Blessings
You are a genius and we love your chapatis. Amazingly delicious.
I’m a keralite .. I do watch your videos. I like your way of presentation ❤keep going🥰
You are so sweet with your initial explanation! This is a really good idea; I would call it a pumpkin lacchha paratha in my language! I also saw people making pumpkin rotis (which incidentally, most Indians would possibly confuse with chapatis, but 'chapati' is just a blanket term in Hindi for any flatbread).
Thank you for the lovely recipe! I use a potato peeler to peel pumpkin/butternut, it's super easy and fast 😊
Its nice to know that generations has brought us together by name of Chapati, yes there are different names to what you prepare with, in India toward the northern parts of India they call it Paratha , as you have added pumpkin to it, here it is Potatoes, or spinach, or Cauliflower, this makes a healthy meals for those who work in office and school children can have it for lunch and especially when you travel by train or bus would not like to eat outside food this the best family meal you can relish with Yogurt, Sweet cream, for a little tingy feeling taste it with Indian lime pickle with it, Now we will have the chapati for Halloween as you have used Pumpkin🎃🎃🎃just kidding have a awesome time with much recipes for me to see.
❤🎉
I am from India and i loved your recipe. Will surely try it. A good way to add more veggies to our diet. Thanks
Its our traditional Maharashtrian recipie known as Bhoplyache Gharage. Loved the way you rolled it. 👍We add jaggary instead of sugar, whole wheat flour and small amount of besan.. Thanks for sharing. 🌹
Hi. Do you add jaggery enough to make it a little sweet paratha?
I loved this recipe I will try tonight I have pumpkin already in my fridge.
Hi Phil, Jambo.. Habari Yako.. I enjoyed watching ur pumpkin Paratha..🥰 It’s been 40+ years that I left Kenya 🇰🇪 lovely country.. Harambe Nyayo was the jubilant way the Kenyans celebrated their festivals. I’ll try this paratha, Phil n lots of love from India 🇮🇳😀
Thank you for sharing this recipe. I tried it and the 'chapatis' turned out really nice, I will be making them again for sure. I was born in Nairobi but live in the UK now, have visited Kenya a while ago, I have shared your recipe with others to enjoy too! 😀
In South India, it's called Chapathi and in the North, it's called Parantha... However, Parota is prepared from all-purpose flour (Maida), whereas for Chapathi or Parantha, we use wheat flour...
Thanks for this lovely video. I liked how you spread the dough like it is child's play.
Just tried this today...very yummy chapatis indeed❤Thanks Phil for the recipe
Great, glad to hear that and thanks for giving my recipe a try❤️
Thanks for the recipe.
It is delicious and come out very soft.
😊This is calked parathas in India.Wondeeful use of pumpkin.We make a sweet from boiled and mashed pumpkin, with jaggery,cardamom powder.Sometimes the pumpkin is grated .Use the water for kneading the dough,add in curries,soups as it is nutritious.
In south India we call it chapati..fyi
In maharshtra too..
I loved your pumpkin recipe. First time I have seen it. Thanks for sharing it.
They are called lacchha paratha here
Lovely recipe with pumpkin ❤
Greetings from Bangalore, India.
I just chanced upon your video and I really liked it. This is our layered paratha, made with either wheat flour or all purpose flour. Sometimes we mix both flours.
Apart from pumpkin we add different vegetables to make similar parathas. Often we add coriander leaves or fenugreek leaves and other such herbs. Very tasty and healthy.
You have shown both techniques very nicely. I know that Kenya has a large population of those who have roots in India and as such many dishes in Kenya can be related to Indian dishes.
Thank you for a lovely video.
Your chapatis look so yummy 😋. I’m definitely going to try them but would like to add cinnamon and see how it tastes. Regards from your neighbour South Africa 🇿🇦
Thanks to your channel, I never stop delighting my loved ones with new, interesting food)
Hi...this is very nice! One humble suggestion: add a pinch of finely ground nutmeg to the mashed pumpkin...if you like the flavour!
And or cinnamon powder
Such a nice recipe of Pumpkin chappati. In pakistan we use different words and chappati is one of tgem. The chappatis, rotis and phulkas are cooked withòut oil or ghee and the paratha is made with ghee or oil. And the dough for all these is made with whole wheat flour. So happy to know that its called chappati in Kenya like Pakistan.
When you roll out the dough, you butter it, then you sprinkle some flour over it, then you roll them out to form the ball, when you cook them, they will be flaky. But you did a good job. Bravo
Loved these pumpkin Chapathis , thanks for sharing
I'm eating chapatis for dinner. What a coincidence, I'll be preparing the pumpkin/butter nut chapatis next. Phil thanks for this recipe. 🤭 They look so soft.
Anytime gal and I hope you have a good one💕
interesting, well done. as I love pumpkin, I will definitely make it. thanks dear.
These look so good! I’m definitely going to make them! Thank you!❤
Your nails are beautiful
Looks awesome ❤, I am using sweet potato instead of butternut squash with wheat flour , good taste & color 😂😜
Thanks Phil!
Great work!
We make parathas exactly like that.
Normally, we don’t use much oil while making chapatis
Mrembo, don't worry about those stupid comments, you are doing a fantastic job na hapa Kenya chapati zinaitwa chapati. We are not in India. Period.
Silly goose...
Pumpkin is so nutritious. I would definitely try this recipe though i might try using whole wheat flour. I too love to see Non-Indians coming up with awesome Indian recipes. Thank you for this delicious looking chapati. I like rolling my parathas using the 1st method u used.
Nice. Instead of all purpose flour, use whole wheat flour to make Chapatis/ Paratha.
I love your recipe. ❤❤ thank you for sharing. 🙏❤
This aint chapati, it is rather parathas. Chapati is made out of wheat flour and not fried in oil. This is very much an indian recipe.. but i like the fact you tried making it.
wow I also tried the same procedures while using Irish potatoes it gave me a very delicious now . wow thanks gal
Loved this beautiful & super tempting flatbread!
If you roast or boil the squash with the peel on (cut stem, cut down through the middle and place it pumpkin side down in the pan), you can peel it easily and cut it easily too.
Wonderful idea - I have a tin of sweet potato that i want to try this way. I made farmer cheese this morning, or paneer as some may say, so I'll try flavoring some of it to spread on the chapati.
I have been to Kenya twice for a duration of 2 months every time. It was a very nice experience. Kenyan people are very friendly and beautiful. The country is very beautiful too. My husband was working there for 5 years and it's our dream to visit Kenya once more in our life. Thanks for sharing the recipe. You can try this with sweet potato as well. That comes out very well too. Lots of love and good wishes ❤❤❤
I visited Kenya and went on multiple safaris. Beautiful country. Nice people
