This is a recipe for Swahili chapatis. I found the traditional way tedious and long and so i tried to find a new way to make chapatis fast but still soft and was successful with this recipe. Hope it helps make your life easier :)

    My mom exactly exactly does this, instead of cutting and tucking in, she folds ghee smeared chapaathi into quarters until it fits in the fist and then rolls out the quarter folded dough into that final chapaathi. She also adds some milk, may be 25% water replaced with milk. Whole wheat flour too.
