Plural of chapati; unleavened Indian flatbread made with wheat flour, water, and salt, traditionally cooked on a hot griddle or pan.
From Hindi चपाती (capātī). This word represents the direct borrowing of Indian food terminology into English, particularly during the British colonial period in India.
Chapatis are one of the world's most important foods by sheer number of people eating them daily, yet many English speakers only recently learned the word.
