Although I've not used this exact recipe, I can imagine its flavor from other chicken recipes I've used. Next time I have chicken I will try it & perhaps rate the recipe as a 5 even...Basically, I have a question on the national origin of the Chapattis used as the bread dish. The ingredients and the light cooking on a hot griddle are exactly the same as my recipe for making Whole Wheat Tortillas here in New Mexico. Please reply to kcordova510@msn.com. Thanks!

I am new at using any whole weat products, but found this recipe " Oh so very good" I cut the recipe in half, for there is just my husband and i at home now, and he,not being much of a health nut enjoyed it also!!!! I used to work in a resturant, and do like to try new recipes. We have a wonderful little store in our small town that has all kinds of wheat products, can't wait to use them now, since there are so many recipes, that whole wheat can be used in.
