Woodfired Chapatis

Come to the woods and make Woodfired Chapatis with me! It is an unusual fact that one of the UK’s most popular dishes actually hails from exotic, incredible India! But have you ever tasted an authentic Indian meal? Soft, warm Indian bread or chapatis dipped into a hearty lentil dahl or perhaps you'd like to try a sumptuous stuffed chapati? The art of making chapatis over the fire has now almost disappeared from India itself with modern gas and electric stoves being used instead. So what a better way to revive this uncommon art of open fire cooking than by bringing it into our beautiful, ancient woodlands. You will roll and make your very own chapatis (simple or stuffed) using a traditional Indian tava (hot iron pan). If you'd prefer, you could have a go at making the filling for a stuffed chappati - choose from spiced potatoes or grated cauliflower. Once cooked, you can enjoy a traditional Indian meal around a campfire and enjoy the ambience of the woodland.

As we are based in a woodland, you will need to come dressed appropriately. We recommend the following: A change of shoes with sturdy walking boots/wellingtons for when you are in the woodlands. long sleeved top - layers if preferable as you may feel hot or cold long, sturdy trousers tick repellant/ insect repellant - (non alcohol based) sun hat/cap waterproof coat During the colder months, please bring gloves and a hat.
