Chapatis without gluten: Why?

Chapatti is the most ubiquitous staple in many kitchens particularly in South Asia, and yet it is made from glutenous seed flour. Turmeric – the yellow-orange spice common in Indian cuisine – like wheat contains gluten and in the same way people who have celiac disease or are gluten intolerant cannot cook with wheat. Consequently, many gluten-free flour mixtures that are commercially available do not hold up for flatbreads as most tend to be meant for baking only and crumbling and soft in consistency. For that reason, you are always assured of the best type of gluten-free chapatti flour suitable for making thin, soft and tasty chapatis when prepared from home.
