Indian breads like Parathas, chapatis, naans are had more as an accompniment with a meal and not with butter and jams (but kids tend to like it like that ). So feel free to experiment!

With an electric …
With an electric stove, you have to keep adjusting the temperature. If you notice the chapati turning brown too fast, just reduce the heat slightly. You may have to turn it up at a later time…it’s the nature of electric stoves. Also, if you keep your chapati in an insulated container immediately after cooking, it will stay softer.

I have an electric stove -and it is not as easy to regulate the temperature when I make the chapatis. The chapatis become “”pappads” any tips for making chapatis on an electric stove top?

The dough is a little stiffer than roti dough. If you add oil to the dough, they should come out soft. The trick is to keep them in an covered insulated container as soon as they come off the stove, until you are ready to eat.

Should the dough …
Should the dough for this paratha be soft like roti dough or should be little harder. I made this twice but they did not come out so well. they were chewy. Do you have any tips for that?

I think this called chapati or roti puri,right? Paratha or roti canai texture is flaky and layered.

I didn’t know that fenugreek could be used in daal. Thanks for that information. My family makes daal every week. I’ll assume that only a small amount of fenugreek should be used.

Thanks again ladies. You’re help is well appreciated.
