Evidence of foods like chapati dates back to the Indus Valley Civilization, and chapati is recorded in Sanskrit and Mughal-era texts. During the British era, chapatis were consumed by Anglo-Indians as well. The term Chapati has been derived from the Hindi word Chapat meaning slap or flat which describes the traditional method of shaping chapati by slapping the dough in between the palms. Similar to the common pita, the Indian chapati is a bread made of whole wheat flour. It is usually served with a curry, but it is very versatile: it can be used just like regular toast, or as a side to. The authentic chapati recipe (Indian flat bread) uses atta flour and is cooked on tawa. Detailed explanation and video demonstration.
