Chappati Plate

A chappati plate, also known as a tawa or griddle, is an essential kitchen tool in many Indian households. It is primarily used for cooking chapatis, which are round, unleavened flatbreads made from whole wheat flour. The chapati plate is usually made of cast iron, non-stick material, or stainless steel. Its flat and smooth surface allows for even heat distribution, ensuring that the chapatis cook uniformly. To use it, the dough is rolled into thin circles and then placed on the preheated chapati plate, where it is cooked until puffed and lightly browned. Some chapati plates are slightly concave, which helps in making other flatbreads like parathas and dosas. This versatile tool is indispensable for preparing various traditional Indian breads.
