Ingredients:
Flour (whole wheat is more nutritious)
Salt
Sesame seeds
Water
Lemon juice
Fruit syrup
Butter
Cooking:
Mix flour, salt and sesame seeds thoroughly. Add water to form a soft and thick dough (like making “steamed buns” but the dough should not be too dry or too hard).
Cut the dough into small portions and flatten the pieces using the palms of your hands. Put a little flour on the palms of your hands or on top of the dough to prevent sticking, but maintain the softness of the dough. The chapattis are now ready to be toasted. Use a frying pan to toast the chapattis (no oil), baked in an oven, grilled on a barbeque.
After toasting, first, spread butter then fruit syrup (or sugar) on the chapattis. Sprinkle with lemon juice. (All three used together have a very good taste.) When hot, they are fragrant and crispy and have a very unique taste indeed.
Cheese or fruit jam may be added if desired. Chapatis may be served with fruit, lettuce or corn. Potatoes, sweet potatoes, taro and/or slices of vegetarian ham may be barbecued and served with the chapattis.
This dish is simple, nutritious and does not trouble others. One will feel very light and comfortable both physically and spiritually when eating this. Since one will be very joyful, it has been named the “Joy Rice-Roll.”
