Definition
A thin, unleavened Indian flatbread made from whole wheat flour and cooked on a griddle.
Etymology
From Hindi चपाती (chapātī), derived from Sanskrit चपति (chapati) meaning 'to slap' or 'to pat,' referring to the method of hand-patting the dough flat before cooking.
Kelly Says
The word itself mimics the sound of making it—'chap' is the Hindi onomatopoeia for the slapping sound made while hand-flattening the dough, which is how the bread got its name!
