Chapati (East African Bread) image

This is taken from the Congo Cookbook. Unleavened bread that is very popular and is served with many curry dishes. I am estimating the servings as I have not made this yet. It looks good and simple so I do plan on making.

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 cups all-purpose flour, sifted
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cooking oil

These chapatis were a great way to use up some leftover potatoes. The dough was easy to work with and the chapatis cooked up quickly. The potato filling was also very tasty. I will definitely be making these again.
