The festive season is here again! The season of making all those sweet dishes. The month where the sweet aroma of chapattis pierce through the air making everyone around salivate. But it will be so boring if we make chapattis in 2017 the same way we made chapattis for Christmas back in 2007. Keep your family enjoying your chapattis by using these simple and cheap kitchen tips and tricks for softer and sweeter outcome.Use warm water when making the dough. This makes the dough softer and easy to roll. Remember, it’s not hot water, it is lukewarm water. Using hot water might make your chapattis turn out otherwise.Try making carrot chapattis. Grate some carrots and pour them into the flour when kneading the dough. These chapattis break the monotony of plain chapattis and are more exciting to bite.Try kneading your dough with yellow pumpkin or butternut. This will not only give your chapattis an attractive yellow color, but also enrich the taste. You can also use a little amount of turmeric to give your chapattis that yellow color.Use a cup of boiled milk to enrich your chapattis. Instead of kneading your dough traditionally with just plain water, you can use a cup of milk to give more healthy and soft chapattis. You can also opt to add an egg or two when kneading the dough for greater taste.Finally, for whatever type of chapattis you are making, ensure you use quality oil when cooking. Some oils might make your chapattis dry or sticky when cold. Some oils might not generally be healthy. So be wise.
