While I was visiting home in Australia late last year, I decided that I’d take some seeds back to India with me to grow some of the rarer herbs and vegetables here. My mum has an abundant vegetable garden. So it can’t be all THAT difficult, I thought….

I decided it’s about time that I learned how to make one of the essential components of an Indian meal — chapattis (Indian bread)! I’ll need a bit more practice, as there are quite a few things to get right, but I’m off to a good start….
