Chapati cooking class

Strait Quay mall has a 2-part series of cooking classes for kids.  We signed up for both chapati cooking class and gingerbread man making class.

The chapati cooking class was held last November 7.  Chapati is an unleavened flatbread from Bangladesh, India, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka.  Instructions were straightforward and fairly simple. Sarah did most of the procedure, but needed help when her arms got tired of the kneading part.  Fun part was getting to eat what the little one prepared, she was so proud for making a chapati.

The class was easy on the pocket as well, just RM10 ($2.33) registration fee.  It included all ingredients (enough to make 3 chapatis) plus they gave 2 extra chapatis and some dal dip.  A great bargain for the food and experience!

The organizers printed out a pictorial instruction sheet for all participants.

Dough kneading using atta flour, which can be rolled very thin compared with other flour types.

Rolling, rolling.
