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🙏🏼
Hi. Phil You are already making Parotha may be in different name.When u are demonstrating how to make CHAPATI ( which in other part of the world mainly Asia known as Parotha) if you have said that it's known Chapati in Kenya or East Africa then you won't get so much NEGATIVE COMMENTS. Then it would clear to the people. It's very common dish and stable food to some region so they know very well how to cook and differentciate between CHAPATI and PAROTHA Even in South East Asia the way you have made the CHAPATI it's also known as ROTI CHANAI So you see mistake lies on you. One advice do some research before put any video because there are so many cooking videos and different countries have different way not only cooking but has different name. Anyhow keep going. God blessed
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!!!
She is from East Africa and has never cooked Chapatis? My hubby of 23years, love my for tye Chapatis my neighbours in VT adore them too, so I make them to oder
I've been looking for this recipe!!!!! 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 it!!!!! God bless you! I'm going to surprise my Ugandan mother when she next visits. Love from Toronto, Canada!
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 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.
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.😊
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
Also in my country Surinam we don't call this kind of flat bread chapati but paratha. Chapati is a small round flat bread with no layers. But well explained and presented. Thank you for your 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! ❤
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.
Just a small detail... these are Paratha and Not chapati. Since India is the country of origin, the only correct name for it is what Indians call it... i.e. Paratha. Chapati is made with whole wheat flour while Paratha is, I believe, made with all purpose flour as in this video. Chapati - Country of Origin : Indian subcontinent en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chapati
@@joebloggs7425 Sorry,we call it Chapatis in East Africa.Like it or not, that's what it's called here.We all speak different languages and have different cultures.Its so ridiculous for you to think that we shall have the same exact words and speech connotation 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
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. ❤
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. 🙂
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 searched how to make chapatis and found so many videos but i choose to watch this,i can testify this was the easiest of all the videos and guess what i made so nice chapos even my husband wasn't believing it.thank you so much for such an educative videoes and may God bless the work of your hands
Just made the chapati s and my boys were licking and smirking their lips from the get go......gotten lots of cuddles for the gesture Thanks Phil I'll be watching your recipes
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.
I eat Chapati for the first time from my Kenyan Friend n I liked it immediately. I eat other ones later but they are never like the first one I eat. Just entered RUclips now to search for Chapati recipe and I found your own that is well explained ,seen to be simple and beautiful looking. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. God bless you,😊
Am from India, male and this is the first time viewing this channel..Very gracefully presented and chapatis look delicious..But we call this Parota (layered chapati) and it is usually made with maida (not healthy) and the process is so laborious and needs lot of skill. Hotels employ 'parota masters' who are highly paid.. Thank you madam....
@@beenakaria1142 In Kenya and east Africa they are called chapatis and a rose by any other name smells as sweet. I believe it is not wrong to call them what you want depending on where you are from.
i love learning about different cultures. in Kenya, these are known as chapatis. they were inspired by Indian cuisine since we have very many indians in our country. we just use all purpose wheat flour here, and no occasion is complete without the chapatis (or chapos)
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.
Madam... Thank you... Thank you... Thank you.... Just made some from your guidance... For the first time my Chapatti came to be what we've all been craving for in the house... Just won me another point for my Kenyan hubby... We are debating whether to have it with tea or stew. Thank you. Grateful. Vilma.
Good recipe Chef. Good to know you call it 'CHAPATI' too. In India we use whole wheat flour and we make the dough similar to what you showed and we either make the Chapatis your way or we just roll it round and fold it into a Tirangle and roll them as triangles.
Chapatis ❤. Can’t wait to make this. I had Chapati while in Uganda and everytime I eat it, my heart is so happy. I love your presentation, so calming. Thank you for sharing 😊.
In India it is called Paratha or parontha and made with maida and in North India it's a daily food, Specially Chapati is made with wheat atta. Your recipes is tempting yet.
am one of those cooking enthusiasts who don't measure, so old school, but i tried the recipee and i have never loved my chappatis as i did today, so layered n soft for so long, thanks you mama
You have made me a chapati making queen. I could just never get them to be soft, but your explanation about the stickiness just was it. Tha KS a bunch for sharing.
New cultures my butt. You don't even know your history. This food is known as chappati, roti or paratha amongst other names. It was brought to Africa by the Indians
I used to make hard chapos even if you Soak in soup they are not soft😂😂😂 made Chapati yesterday with this method... wish I could put up a picture...they be layered meeeeehhhnnn they have pages like a book😊😊 my husband started complaining we have been giving the lady that makes them alot of money.. 😂😂 in short..he approves. thank you so much, God bless you!
@phils_kitchen, thanks for sharing this recipe! As a first-timer, I needed a simple chapati recipe and yours did the trick! Now I make chapati every Sunday without fail!!! I even hit 44 chapatis, something I'd never in my wildest dreams thought I'd do. THANK YOU PHIL!!!!!! God bless you so much. Today I'm trying your mahamri recipe. Pray for me!🙏
Hai, we make the same with wheat flour and we simply love it. Amused, I kept watching the full video as I took a liking at you at the very first start and just loved the way you went ahead with it and it is simply superb?!! Have a great day and God bless you.
I was born in Kenya and lived there for 53 years. I miss all the coastal dishes, but especially chapati. This recipe reminded me of home❤️ BTW, if anyone living in the UK wants a Kimbo equivalent for making pastry, Trex is pretty much identical. However, I haven’t found anything to replace Cowboy.
You are right in that each country / culture may have different names for similar or even same dish. Even here in India it may vary in North and South India. It is interesting that you call this chapathi, while we call it paratha. In South India our version of chapathis are made from whole wheat flour. But parathas are made either with wheat flour or all purpose flour. Thank you for posting the Kenyan version and good luck.
Here in East Africa, mostly in Tanzania, Kenya and Uganda we name them Chapati whether made from whole wheat or all purpose flour. We doesn't use different names. They are all Chapati here. It is just personal preference to choose the kind of flour and oils or ghee. Language is culture and we differ.
First time for everything, I tried and they came out so well, I enjoyed this so much and I have developed a new interest in cooking. Thank you for creating this video.
Thanks for learning something new! It looks delicious! In Morocco we got a similar one it called msemen. Almost same ingredients only difference is we use melted butter.
Thank you for the recipe , I made them and they were so delicious. I filled mine with fried chicken pieces,chips,green peppers,onions,mayonnaise and barbecue sauce ☺️So delicious
We call it paratha in Pakistan and make with whole wheat flour. Chapati we make almost the similar way but without oil/butter which is a staple food in my country.
My oh my you’ve helped me a big deal was about to go to bed on an empty stomach Girl these are softer than a baby’s skin despite the fact that I’ve made world maps I have savored on the very best Thanks sooo much for your educative video Stay safe
Wonderful work!!! Lovely making and easy steps. We in India , call this as Paratha. Chappathis are made with wheat dough which also follows a relatively same procedure with no or very less oil. Keep going ! Loving your videos.
Actually what you made is called parota or paratha. Chapatis is always made with whole wheat + salt + water and no oil. But you explained the parota making process very simply and it was easy to do. Just a tip, use ghee/coconut oil.
Here in our country side we doesn't have different names for them. We name them Chapati whether are made of whole wheat flour or all purpose flour, with oils, ghee or without. Food is part of culture, and originally chapati is the food we copy from your culture so we doesn't have different names for them here in East Africa. They are all Chapati to us
Enjoyed watching ur video. Indians love their chapaties, parothas , kulchas , bhaturas and puris. The kerala people have their version, it is the ' Malabari parotha '.Quite similar to what you prepared.
While kneading the dough, the ratio of water to flour should be 1:2 by volume. However, add water in steps, and initial mixing can be done with the help of a table spoon. Once, water gets in evenly, you can knead with the hands. To bring gluten out dough has to be kneaded well.
I'm here because I saw easiest way to make chapatti..this method of yours is for making paratha, you don't make chapatti and add oil to it while on hot tawa(plus main ingredient is wheat flour popularly known as atta, but can substitute with all purpose flour)...after leaving dough for 15min ,you roll chapatti dough directly in round shape and place on hot tawa,wait for little bubble and turn over to cook other side completely then place the first half cooked side directly on fire to puff up ,your chapatti is ready 😊(layers automatically comes in dough when you do it right,no need to roll in layers) ,if I make this recipe to my indian husband's family and call it chapatti they'll think am drunk that i wanted to say paratha😂, it's paratha you made and it looks really good 👍thanks sis
@@jacqueyokwirry1434 oh....chapos is Kenya style....then it's chapos not chapatti... chapatti is Indian style which is totally different from this,her title got me running here because It says CHAPATTI
All purpose works very well for me.thanks fr the video .most of us have nanny's but we just prefer cooking for the family.we are always in the kitchen 🤣
It’s available in Tanzania too and probably increasingly everywhere in the world as people become way more aware of all the different culinarily traditions available through simple videos.
For the ingredients,....tap/click on the description directly below video (no more long hours). A description box will pop up. Then tap on ‘more’ quantities will then be revealed. 😊👍 I’m just about to give this recipe a whirl.
Nicely done, mine the lazy way is just roll it and spread some ghee on it and cook the same method like yours..wow its flaky taste like the Indian roticanai’ or roti whatever they called it yummy 😋
Thank you! You are an excellent teacher. Calm,clear and simple instruction. I like the amounts of oil you used on the Chapati .I have been making them for years but you have simplified the process!
it looks beautiful; In India, we call it Porotha; Chappati is made with pure wheat flour with single layer; now, I can see the the whole world is coming together in kitchen via You - tube; good information; thanks!

Here in East Africa, mostly in Tanzania, Kenya and Uganda we name them Chapati whether made from whole wheat or all purpose flour. We doesn't use different names. They are all Chapati here. It is just personal preference to choose the kind of flour and oils or ghee.
Language is culture and we differ.
@@neema37_christmyredeemer agree. 👍
@@neema37_christmyredeemer Calling A Burger “Sandwich” won’t make it a Sandwich. Parathas and Chapatis are different.

Did not know that Lachha(layered) parantha is incorporated as Chapati in East Africa. Thanks for sharing. Learnt something new today.
I am 14 and I have tried it and it's the best receipt wow. Thanks.
Chapattis come from India and I am super impressed by your precision skills keep going God bless you
This is called layered Paratha lachacha paratha or roti chanai but not at all called chapati . Chapati used wheat flour and healthy
Thank you so much. I followed your recipe and it turned out amazing😍 I've never been this enthusiastic to make chapatis again
We call it paratha in Pakistan and make with whole wheat flour. Chapati we make almost the similar way but without oil/butter which is a staple food in my country.
Just finished making my first chapati ever and this was straight to the point and simple
My oh my you’ve helped me a big deal was about to go to bed on an empty stomach
Girl these are softer than a baby’s skin despite the fact that I’ve made world maps I have savored on the very best
Thanks sooo much for your educative video
Stay safe
Now am a fan of making chapos...Thank you for this.♥️
happy to hear that🤗
May God bless you girl, finally I can make a wonderful chapati,this recipe is real.I can't stop making chapatis
Hi ! These are known as parathas in India....Chapati's are flat whole wheat bread without layers....but anyway the recipe is great 👍
Lovely brought me right back home to Kenya! Thank you for your wonderful recipe now I can always make these! ❤🌻🌻
Wonderful work!!! Lovely making and easy steps. We in India , call this as Paratha. Chappathis are made with wheat dough which also follows a relatively same procedure with no or very less oil. Keep going ! Loving your videos.
Method easy like it well done patcy Stellenbosch Cape Town
Good to know
Yeah that’s Paratha not Chapati.
Thank you sweet lady. Easier than another recepie I watched at RUclips. I will try this tomorrow.
Phil this is absolutely amazing. As someone who’s trying to learn how to cook, your recipes have helped me loads👌🏾👌🏾
The aesthetics of this video are everything! The recipe looks doable as well. I live in East Africa.
The editing, video quality, audio quality & music is top tier...
Nice recipe too
thank youuu🤗🙏🏼
I tried your way and weee! Absolutely awesome! The Chapos were amazing!
Actually what you made is called parota or paratha. Chapatis is always made with whole wheat + salt + water and no oil. But you explained the parota making process very simply and it was easy to do. Just a tip, use ghee/coconut oil.
Asians chapati and African chapati (Kenya) use different methods to making chapati and hardly use use ghee or coconut oil
Here in our country side we doesn't have different names for them. We name them Chapati whether are made of whole wheat flour or all purpose flour, with oils, ghee or without.
Food is part of culture, and originally chapati is the food we copy from your culture so we doesn't have different names for them here in East Africa. They are all Chapati to us
@@neema37_christmyredeemer
Yes 👍 exactly 💯 chapati is chapati that is all we know
Well done from Mauritius. Chapati parotha. All is good 👍
In Kenya 🇰🇪 we say chapati
I tried it today step by step came out perfectly. Took me 2hrs 30 min but I'm sure with practice I'll do fast
Enjoyed watching ur video. Indians love their chapaties, parothas , kulchas , bhaturas and puris.
The kerala people have their version, it is the ' Malabari parotha '.Quite similar to what you prepared.
Thank you Phil kitchen. I'm trying this out in my country(Nigeria) soonest.
Your recipe looks simple and stress less.
God Has given u an art in your hands n that's simply magical
thank you🙏🏼
@@phils_kitchen hi would you happen to have any soy chunks recipes
I appreciate most about this channel is that you write all ingredients for each recipe ...... lovely and simple ..
Thank you ❤
While kneading the dough, the ratio of water to flour should be 1:2 by volume. However, add water in steps, and initial mixing can be done with the help of a table spoon. Once, water gets in evenly, you can knead with the hands. To bring gluten out dough has to be kneaded well.
How does gluten come out of dough?
It develops 8n the process of adding water, kneading and leaving the dough to rest.
All flour isn't the same ! Some flour absorbs more water than others , so a general rule isn't always helpful .
Thanks, everytime I tried to make chapati, it could come out hard but today after getting ideas from you, I made it👍
Thanks for showing us an easy way to make chapatis. Very well explained. Greetings from Australia. 🙏
No yeast ?
This is called layered Paratha not Chapati wrong information
Chapati usually make with wheat flour which is healthy
Its so easy yes Phil don't worry we Kenyans and some other countries call it Chapati,big up💪
I'm here because I saw easiest way to make chapatti..this method of yours is for making paratha, you don't make chapatti and add oil to it while on hot tawa(plus main ingredient is wheat flour popularly known as atta, but can substitute with all purpose flour)...after leaving dough for 15min ,you roll chapatti dough directly in round shape and place on hot tawa,wait for little bubble and turn over to cook other side completely then place the first half cooked side directly on fire to puff up ,your chapatti is ready 😊(layers automatically comes in dough when you do it right,no need to roll in layers) ,if I make this recipe to my indian husband's family and call it chapatti they'll think am drunk that i wanted to say paratha😂, it's paratha you made and it looks really good 👍thanks sis
Me too
We make our Chapos this way in Kenya ,and we love it too...she's in Kenya not India....
@@jacqueyokwirry1434 oh....chapos is Kenya style....then it's chapos not chapatti... chapatti is Indian style which is totally different from this,her title got me running here because It says CHAPATTI
Agreed 100%
Chapos is a short name for chapati here we call it chapati in kenya
Thank you for the recipe. Worked! My family loved them.
I tried your recipe yesterday and it turned out great❤. Thank you for sharing your amazing recipe 🎉
All purpose works very well for me.thanks fr the video .most of us have nanny's but we just prefer cooking for the family.we are always in the kitchen 🤣
This is a traditional Indian lachha paratha, nice to know its used in all cultures 😍
A Kenyan lady in Australia told me they learnt it from the Indians there.
It’s available in Tanzania too and probably increasingly everywhere in the world as people become way more aware of all the different culinarily traditions available through simple videos.
Just tried it today! Have been missing me some chapati. This was really easy to make. Thank you for this recipe 😁
For the ingredients,....tap/click on the description directly below video (no more long hours). A description box will pop up. Then tap on ‘more’ quantities will then be revealed. 😊👍 I’m just about to give this recipe a whirl.
These are the best chapati, and that's how we do it.
🇰🇪 🇰🇪 🇰🇪
Thanks for sharing
Nicely done, mine the lazy way is just roll it and spread some ghee on it and cook the same method like yours..wow its flaky taste like the Indian roticanai’ or roti whatever they called it yummy 😋
U are correct. It's called roti chanai or layered paratha
Thank you! You are an excellent teacher. Calm,clear and simple instruction. I like the amounts of oil you used on the Chapati .I have been making them for years but you have simplified the process!
This is exactly like Yemeni kubza ( flat bread) great video thank you!! 😊 🙌🔥🌻 I subscribed 💫
it looks beautiful; In India, we call it Porotha; Chappati is made with pure wheat flour with single layer; now, I can see the the whole world is coming together in kitchen via You - tube; good information; thanks!
Love the way you made these. We call it paratha,(slight difference). Will definately try this way of making the rolls.😊
