It was Indian immigrants who brought Chapatis to Uganda and though Idi Amin forced them all to leave the country this flatbread still remains popular there.
Ingredients:
300g plain flour, sifted
1 tsp salt
1/2 red onion, finely chopped
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
cooking oil
water to bind
Method:
Sift together the flour and salt into a bowl then stir in the onion and garlic. Form a well in the centre then slowly mix in just enough water to give you a firm dough. Turn the dough onto a floured work surface and knead well for about 10 minutes. Return the dough to a bowl, cover with a clean cloth and set aside to rest for 30 minutes.
Place a non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Take the dough and divide into tangerine-sized alls then, using a rolling pin roll each piece of dough out on a lightly-floured surface into 15cm diameter founds. Lightly flour the rolled chapatis and stack on a plate as you roll out the next one.
Moisten a piece of kitchen cloth with oil and use this to very lightly grease the hot frying pan. Take the first chapati and place in your pan then fry on each side for about 4 minutes, or until golden brown and very lightly charred in places. Flip over and cook on the other side.
Transfer the cooked chapatis to a warmed plate and cover with a cloth to keep warm as you cook the next one. Serve warm to accompany your favourite Ugandan dish.
