I love to eat chapati and it is also healthy food. Since my mother-in-law cook chicken curry and it goes well with chapati too. I bought the wheat flour and get the receip from the internet. It is too sticky and add a lot of flour. Maybe next time try to reduce the water. This receip can make 4 pcs. I forget to take the pictures as I can’t wait to eat.

Ingredients :

1/2 cup wheat flour

1/4 cup & 1 tbsp of water (need to reduce the water)

1/4 tsp of salt

a few drops of oil (use extra virgin olive oil)

1. Sift the flour and add in the salt. Stir well.

2. Add in the water and make a dough.

3. Add in a few drops of oil in your hand and the dough so that it will not stick together.

4. Divide into 4 portion. Cover it and leave it for 15 mins.

5. Roll the small portion dough. After a few roll, place the dough in the flour and roll again. It will still stick to your hand. Flip the dough between your 2 hands before place in a non-stick pan.

6. Hot air will form in the dough and flip to the other side.

 I use the previous vanilla cupcakes recipe. Just add 3 tablespoon of ground almond. The recipe requires almond essence but I replace it with vanilla essence.

This is nice cupcakes. Just a bit sweet even though I have cut by 20g. I didn’t follow the method as I don’t have mixer. I mix sugar and butter then put in the eggs and vanilla eseence, follow by the flour.

Today I am down with flu and headache. This is my 1st time falling sick on Christmas day even though I have no program for today. I make coke ginger to cure my flu as it keeps on flowing. I get a can of coke and some ginger. Put to boil and let it cool down to drink. Next time I must remember to add some water as it is sweet for me. I went to a resturant and drank this drink before. It is nice and the colour is not so dark. I believe they add water into it.
