Chapati (also spelled chapathi) is an Indian flat bread that is a staple in India and Pakistan. It's unleavened and made with wheat flour, salt, and water. You might also see this kind of flat bread called roti — in fact, they're so similar, the two names are often used interchangeably, although strictly speaking chapati is a type of roti. Like most Indian food, it's meant to be served alongside a variety of different dishes that can be scooped up with fresh flat bread. From chicken curry to dal, here are the best side dishes to serve with chapati.

Reviewer kirsten says, "I've been trying to find this recipe that actually tasted right. This is the closest I've come! It was excellent. Will add more crushed red pepper next time as I think it could use more spiciness to it. But so, so happy to finally find a keeper!"

The coconut milk adds the extra sauciness; my favorite part of curry. Serve with basmati rice or, better, with breads such as roti, naan, or pita," says recipe creator Alicia.</p>
