Didn’t make chapati fresh from flour. Bought the frozen chapati from Ta Kiong. Teehee.. 10 pieces for RM4.90 only!! It’s so cheap. It’s so so easy to prepare. You can have your own mamak straight from your own fridge!

Homecook Chapati

All you need:

- Any type of frozen chapati/roti canai/pratha of your choice [DO NOT DEFROST THE BREAD! Once the bread is defrost-ed, it is difficult to peel of the plastic sheet from the bread.]

- A packet of ready to cook curry paste of your choice.

Methods:

Prepare the curry first. This can be any type of curry of your choice. I would recommend the the “Hari-Hari Favourites” Curry Paste from Maggi. It’s SPICEHHH! Kinda up to my expectations. Also because Mum cooked it. Hahaha..

Tips: Add in Kacang Dhal for that extra "mamakness"

Cook lots and lots of the sauce and pack them in containers, keep them in the freezer. So, when you want to have some chapati in the mid of the night, you can just take it out, heat the curry and chapati and enjoy it within minutes.

As for the Chapati, it’s VERY EASY to prepare. The simplest thing to cook! Just heat up the pan, no oil needed. Place  the frozen chapati on the pan and wait for it to be CRISPY. Here’s an example:

Heating the Chapati

From this video, you can see that the chapati is not very “hard”, not fully frozen because it was left outside room temperature for quite sometime. So, it became sticky to the plastic sheet.

Tips: Keep the chapati in the freezer at all time. When you’re ready to heat the next piece, then take it out and heat it right away.

Next, when the bottom part of the chapati is slightly golden brown, you can tell, when the whole piece is not “stuck” on the pan. Now is the time to flip it and heat the other side. Watch me flip it:

LOL! The whole idea of this post is to show off this short clip of me flipping the chapati, ok?
