Chapati

Chapatis are a delicious, round, un-leavened bread that come from the Arab and Indian influence in the coastal region of Kenya. They are made of mostly flour, water, and oil, but some people add sugar, eggs, and even vegetables like carrots or pumpkins to make them sweeter. Chapatis are eaten with anything from savory stews to a sweet cup of hot tea.
