About

1. Dough Preparation: Some machines can mix and knead the dough, while others may just handle the rolling and cooking stages.

2. Rolling: The machine rolls the dough into flat, round shapes. This can be done using rollers or plates that flatten the dough evenly.

3. Cooking: The rolled dough is then cooked on a hot surface. The machine may have a built-in heating element or a non-stick surface that mimics the traditional tawa (griddle) used for cooking chapatis.

4. Puffing: To achieve the characteristic puffiness of chapatis, the machine might use a combination of heat and pressure. Some models can puff the chapatis by rapidly heating them, causing steam to create bubbles within the bread.

These machines are particularly useful in commercial settings like restaurants or catering services where making large quantities of chapatis is required. They save time and ensure consistency in the size and texture of the chapatis.
