ottawa foodies

Had this 'new' product with my Lamb Korma tonight. I got it from the Samosa hut in my 'hood.

The package contains 12 chapati's (or roti's). A little potassium sorbate is the only presevative, so they must be kept refrigerated.

Normally they are cooked in a tava (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tava), but I used my conditioned cast iron skillet.

I was really impressed with the results. Post to follow.

The pic is the package scanned on my scanner.

Here is a scan of a leftover chapati from my dinner tonight.

This is NOT a picture of the chapati, I cooked, but a scan of the actual leftover chapati. (Better get the Windex out now).

The chapati's were tasty, fluffy, and sopped up the Lamb Korma, quite well.

The price was $3.49 for the package, so it worked out to 29 cents per chapati.



Fresh Foodie: Is this the first "Food Scan" on Ottawa Foodies ?

I believe it is. I certainly wouldn't allow food on my scanner! :-)

Chapati aint that hard to make from scratch though. Have you tried? Atta flour is pretty easy to come by -- I got some at the infamous Superstore (Eagleson).

It's OK to put food on my scanner because I got it at St. Vincent De Paul (kinda like a Sally Ann or Neigbourhood Services Store) for $10. ... and it's an Acer 4300 U with 600x1200dpi and 48-bit color.

Pre-packaged chapatis or parathas are God's puffy gift to curry fans. I love them so, even though it's not that hard to make 'em myself.

I really should use my tava for making pancakes and stuff, too.
