Could you possibly record another version, this time using an induction hob ?!  But to be more serious, have you ever tried puffing a chapatti over a halogen hob, and if so, with what success ?

OK, with herself away in Abu Dhabi I will probably get away with it.  But if I am murdered on her return, you will have to live with that on your conscience !  The illustration looks very much like one of these, but what are the three additional yellow buttons you have on the front of yours ?

I have, Phil, and it works very well.

I put the chapatti on a grill tray grid and place it over the hob. (The grill tray grid raises the chapatti about half an inch above the hob.) Whack the heat on full (around 30-40 seconds a side), and watch the chapatti puff up like a blowfish.

A great watch Chris and thank you,
Not doubting you're straight mate but the "We've got a cushion" comment did make me laugh ;D
Cheers,
Mick

Excellent, that's GBP 10 I've saved and also avoided the risk of being divorced on herself's return from Abu Dhabi !  I shall try it with a pre-made Elephant Atta chapatti this very evening.  Do you pre-heat the halogen element at all, or turn it on once the chapatti is in position ?

I do preheat the element in an effort to emulate the immediate heat you get with gas, but the usual caution re the different characteristics of different cookers definitely applies (i.e. if your chapatti is instantly cremated and you're left with a small disk of carbon, I absolve myself of all responsibility!).
