I started trying Sujatha Chakki Fresh atta and my chapathis are decent and taste pretty good. Definitely better than all previous trials. I have not seen Annapoorna atta in the Indian stores here.

One is the Sujatha Punjabi atta and the other is Sujatha Chakki Fresh atta. Do you have any idea which one is better or would you please let me know which one you use among the two? Thanks, Jasper <i>Jasper: It's Sujatha Chakki Fresh Atta. Not bad at all. I haven't tried Sujatha Punjabi atta, so can't tell the differences between these two varieties. I moved on from Sujatha, this month, I am using Annapoorna brand atta for chapatis. This is also good. - Indira Oct 18, 07</i> Indira,

Appreciate your answer. My mom gave me the same suggestion - mix flour, warm water and salt. Infact at home, my mother uses water at room temperature and her rotis are always soft. I have used Golden Temple atta earlier and the rotis used to turn up pretty hard even if made them fresh everyday. So i stopped making them at home. I will try Sujatha brand. Thank you very much.

Let's see how it goes. I will try my best.:) Nirmala: Oy.:) Kobbari kaaram is no more. Everything got gobbled up by last weekend. But I made another curry with bendi today with poppy seeds. Nina: Fine morning to you! Polka dots are pretty, aren't they? I love all things polka dot, particularly when they are in pale pastel colors. You lucky gal.:) Enjoy the bounty! Sreelu: No. These romano beans taste exactly like fresh green beans. I read your comment about black chickpeas. Glad to know that you tried and liked that recipe, Sreelu. Hello Orshoe: Currently I am using Sujatha brand atta. I make them fresh for that meal. I think that's why they photograph well. My routine is - mix flour, warm water and salt. While I prepare a curry or dal for chapatis, the dough rests usually 30 minutes to one hour. Once the curry/dal is done, prepare, photograph and eat. That's it. I really don't have any special tricks for chapati making. Sorry. Priya: I’ve planned to celebrate festivals this year. Let’s see how it goes. I will try my best.:)

Your rotis always seem fresh and soft. Would you please let me know how you make them so good?What do you do to retain their softness? Thanks, Orshoe. Hi Indira,
