Freshen Old Chapatis

By , About.com Guide

One of the most commonly eaten staples with most Indian food, Chapatis often get left over. Instead of tossing them out, here's how you can make them taste as good as fresh ones (well nearly) again.

If the Chapati is only a day old, simply heat a flat griddle or pan on a medium flame and reheat. Flip frequently to prevent scorching. If you're lucky the Chapati will puff again!

If the Chapati is more than a day old, sprinkle with a little water, wrap in a damp cloth and microwave on High for a minute. Remove from the microwave and unwrap. Now roast on a hot griddle or pan, making sure to flip occassionally.
