Satisfying hungry children is a task in itself. Every day food has to look interesting and of course different to please their appetites! This recipe is of a delicious chapati roll filled with a spicy mushroom mixture. The addition of soda bi-crab to the chapati dough makes these chapattis soft while the corn flour makes them crispy. A treat for children and adults alike! If you are using left-over chapatis to rustle up a tasty snack, just warm them up a little!
