Definition
A thin, unleavened flatbread made from wheat flour and water, cooked on a griddle. A staple food in Indian cuisine, eaten with curries and vegetables.
Etymology
From Hindi चपाती (chapātī) derived from चपाना (chapānā) meaning 'to roll flat' or 'to slap', referring to the method of rolling and slapping the dough to make it thin. The word entered English in the 18th century through British colonial documentation of Indian food practices.
Kelly Says
Chapati gets its name from the slapping motion used to flatten the dough - 'chapana' literally means 'to slap flat'! This simple bread is so fundamental to Indian meals that the phrase 'roti-kapda-makaan' (bread-clothes-shelter) represents life's basic necessities.
