    Hi,

    Is it possible to heat chapatis in microwave? To keep chapati soft, I wrap it in foil and then in cloth but after 3-4 hours, don't feel like eating. How can we keep it hot or if possible, what is the way to heat in microwave??

    Please suggest:)

    DH says he reheats his chapatis just for 5-10 sec and they become very soft. But he has to eat it within 20 mins otherwise the corners become stiff.

    you can reheat chappathis..

    this is the technique i follow. i normally keep the rotis/chappathis covered in a thin cheesecloth stored in a box. say i made them in the night, and i want to have it in the morning. i just take the roties in the cheese cloth, just sprinkle a little water on the cloth and mw for a minute. (it depends on your oven model and the number of rotis.) i keep for a minute for 4 chappathis of medium size. allow it to stand for a few seconds.. remove and use.

    they are soft as if they were made just then.

    Although make sure to cook those chapatis with some oil lest they become hard.

    Yes you can.
    Wrap them in a cloth or tissue paper,place in a container with lid. Keep the lid loose. Microwave just for a few seconds(depending on the number of rotis).
    Enjoy the warm rotis.
