Questions about Whole wheat chapati or roti bread
How do you heat chapati or roti without drying it out?
Warm it in a dry frying pan over medium heat for about 20–30 seconds per side, turning once. For a softer result, wrap the warmed breads in a clean tea towel while you heat the rest.
Can you make whole wheat chapati or roti puff up?
Cook the rolled dough on a very hot, dry pan until bubbles appear, then turn it; press the edges gently with a clean cloth or spatula. A well-kneaded, rested dough and an evenly rolled round help it puff.
What do you serve with whole wheat chapati or roti?
Use it to scoop up dhal, chana masala or saag, or serve it alongside a curry with yoghurt and pickle. Tear it into pieces rather than cutting it, as it is traditionally eaten by hand in many meals.

Keep freshly cooked breads stacked and wrapped in a clean cloth, then transfer them to an airtight container once cool; use within a day or two. Freeze them with baking paper between each bread, then reheat straight from frozen in a covered pan over low heat.
Can you use whole wheat chapati or roti instead of a tortilla?
