Does butter add calories to the chapatti or is the 158 kal it inclusive?
On a Diet
Adding butter will add more calories, depending on how much butter you use.
What’s included in the calorie calculation are just the basic ingredients (everything listed under “Ingredients”).

I love Chapatis, its a really simple recipe.Though the key to a good chapati is to get the dough to rise.Don’t worry you dont need any baking powder for this.Simply use a spatula to press the sides as you cook the dough, this will trap air on the sides allowing them to make the centre rise up.This gives teh chapati a softer lighter texture and you can peel off pieces easily.

Great recipe. We’ll be making this for our annual celebrations of Christmas traditions from around the world. Yes, African countries – an amalgam of traditions for which I mean no disrespect – will be this year’s focus.

Chapati is one of East African top Recipe. Many people especially those who visit to Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania enjoy eating Chapatti but really don’t care to know how it is made.
