In India and other parts of Asia, people bake chapati (or roti). It is a traditional Indian flatbread made from wholemeal flour (atta) and water. The dough is rolled out into thin circles and baked on a hot griddle or other equipment. After baking, it is often brushed with ghee (clarified butter) for better flavor. Chapati is a staple in the Indian diet and is served with various dishes such as curries, lentil dishes (dal) or vegetable gravies. It is light, healthy and easy to digest, making it a favorite in many households across India.
