Chapati: The Indian Flat Bread

Chapati is a traditional Indian bread baked in the skillet.

The ancient science of Ayurveda indicates its consumption to be easy to digest, because it is not made with yeast.

Its preparation is much faster than the homemade yeast bread, but it takes more work. However, it's worth!

It is a great solution for a quick snack.
