Trivia

[Hardcore] Since typical Indian homes lack Tandoor ovens, baking chapati 3 times a day is the norm. Rolling it into a perfect circle and puffing it up is the mark of a good cook.

Eating tips & etiquette

[Unique Eating] Fold the piping hot chapati in half, dip it firmly into Dal (lentil soup), and eat it when it softens slightly for a taste of home!
