About Kenyan chapati
Kenyan Chapati is a soft, layered flatbread that is a staple in East African cuisine, particularly in Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda, with roots tracing back to Indian influences. Made from a simple dough of wheat flour, water, salt, and optional additions like milk or oil, the dough is rolled, layered, and pan-cooked to achieve its distinct texture. While chapati is adored for its rich flavor and versatility, its nutritional value depends on preparation. Using whole wheat flour increases fiber content, supporting digestion and sustained energy levels. However, traditional recipes often include refined flour and generous amounts of oil, which can be high in calories and fat. Chapati pairs excellently with vegetables, legumes, or lean proteins, making it a balanced accompaniment to nutrient-rich meals. Moderation and healthier preparation methods ensure this cherished flatbread remains a wholesome addition to your diet.
