Instructions

1

Prepare the chapati dough: In a large bowl, mix flour and salt. Gradually add warm water and knead into a soft, smooth dough. Cover and let rest for 15 minutes.

2

Divide the dough into small balls. Roll each ball into a thin circle, brush with oil, fold into a semi-circle, then fold again into a quarter-circle.

3

Roll out each folded dough into a thin circle again. Heat a pan over medium heat and cook each chapati until golden brown spots appear, flipping and brushing with oil as needed.

4

Prepare the sukuma wiki: Wash and chop the collard greens into thin strips. Heat oil in a pan and sauté onions until translucent.

5

Add garlic, tomatoes, turmeric, and cumin to the pan. Cook until tomatoes soften. Stir in the chopped greens and cook until tender, about 10 minutes. Season with salt.

6

Serve warm chapati with sukuma wiki on the side. Enjoy this authentic Kenyan meal!

Chef's Tips

  • Dough Resting: Letting the dough rest ensures soft chapatis. Don’t skip this step.
  • Rolling Technique: Roll the chapatis evenly to ensure they cook uniformly.
  • Greens Freshness: Use fresh sukuma wiki for the best flavor and texture.
  • Spice Adjustments: Adjust turmeric and cumin to suit your taste preferences.
  • Leftovers: Store leftover chapati in a cloth to keep them soft. Reheat sukuma wiki gently.
