Nutrition : where Does Manganese go ?

Wheat has a lot of it. But surprisingly chapatti does not.! Can any one explain ?

Untitled

I have a different recipe:

Chapati or chapatti is a type of roti or Indian bread. It is made from a dough of atta flour, (from whole durum wheat), water and salt by rolling it out into discs of approximately 12 cm diameter and browning it on both sides on a very hot, dry cast-iron griddle or frying pan. It is then held very briefly (ca. 0.5 s) directly into an open flame, causing it to puff up with steam like a balloon.

Often, the finished chapatis are brushed with ghee (clarified butter). Variations include replacing part of the wheat flour with millet (bajra) or corn (maize) (makka) flour and are then referred to as Bajra Roti or Makke ki Roti. When a mixture of Millet, Maize(corn) and gram flour is used it is called a Missi Roti.

Chapatis are usually eaten with cooked dal (lentil soup) or vegetable (Indian curry) dishes, using the chapati to wrap around and pick up each bite of the cooked dish.

There is difference between Chapati & Roti. Chapati is always made with wheat floor, where as Roti could be made from Bajra, Corn or Rice floor. Chapati is thin, where as Roti is Thick. so roti and Chapati can't be Merged. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 116.203.72.178 (talk) 04:25, 9 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

bread

Is chapati bread? By the Wikipedian definition of bread, chapati wouldn't be considered bread.

it is clearly a bread, by any definition.
no, the wikipedia is never wrong (just in case anyone is in any doubt, that was sarcasm)AwagMoordown 11:39, 9 February 2006 (UTC)the only subject is chapati thats right wiki willnever be wrong[reply]

Kyrgyzstan

in Kyrgyzstan we have "chabaty", it is similar to Indian chapati should it be included too? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.162.149.23 (talk) 12:57, 8 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Merge Roti/Chapati

Obviously nobody working on these articles can agree on the definitions of these two breads. If the breads really are different, that fact should be discussed in the same article. Othewise, one is edited to be contrary to the other. (Also posted at Chapati.)--Jarhed (talk) 11:08, 25 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure at all, but maybe roti is a generic term (flat unleavened bread from atta flour) while chapati is specific (thin flexible flat unleavened bread from atta flour)? If so it would not be sensible to merge. Michealt (talk) 11:08, 3 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
You're right, there are some differences. See my comments at Talk:Roti.--Siddhartha Ghai (talk) 09:43, 11 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I think the last paragraph is a wind-up. I think it unlikely anyone would go round to the home of the people mentioned and request their free chapati/frankfurter rolls, but it makes the entry seem less usefully informative.

East African Chapati

There is a similar bread in East Africa and east Arabia (mostly or exclusively Oman) with the same name, it is only thicker and is made with oil/ghee. It is way more delicious than Indian chapati :p and can be eaten on its own -K authored (talk) 16:31, 23 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Does atta contain bran? (some references)

According to this atta does contain bran. However here is information that it does not. And here that it does. More info on wheat varieties here Gehun ke atta हिन्दी में पढें़ means wholemeal wheat in Hindi. Reference on Wheat Farming A Handbook of Agriculture S. Dutt has a section on Wheat in India

A comparison of types of wheat available in the US and US wheat previously imported into India, as well as native Indian wheat is here and the controversial PL480 Food Aid US legislation (see WP article PL 480)

The meaning and method of chapati

Chapat means to slap in Hindi, and when a rolling pin is not used, the method of forming round sheets of thin dough is slapping between the palms as in this recipe. This recipe gives the traditional method of slapping the dough between the palms as well. RPSM (talk) 16:29, 24 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Title Change

Chapathi should be spelled as thus, chapati would be a wrong spelling. the pronunciation from 't' is not a hard T like in tea, but rather a soft 'th' like in 'thing' or 'thin'.

Can anyone change the title? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.44.177.134 (talk) 23:49, 17 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
