It’s used on the hob to make thin potato scones and thicker girdle scones, both are triangular in shape. A girdle sometimes has a half hoop shaped handle for carrying.

I remember a friend of ours in London we used to visit and his mum and sister making chapathis, I could never quite get the hang of the technique they used with their hands for shaping them.

(Condo building rules–no gas stoves.)

However, these chapatis sound so delicious I will print the recipe and take it to my gas-stove-owning son who loves to cook.

“Mum’s coming!”

Oh yes, we loved seeing your black and white cat too!
