love my electric chapati maker and also... a porcelain ginger grater
Tell me more about your electric chapati maker, Frank; sounds interesting. And does the fact that your ginger grater is porcelain mean that it is more likely to grate ginger, and less likely to grate finger tips, than its modern stainless steel equivalent ?

The chapati maker is a great addition to the kitchen. No mess with flour on the floor and no rolling out required. Just ball them up and rest for 30 mins before flattening a little by hand and cooking. Took a while to get the dough right because the hotplates can act like those table air hockey arcade games and shoot the balls out when pressed down. ;D
And elephant atta is pretty poor flour to work with. I must've gone through 50-60kg before I realised that. :
(Cannae resist a bargain
)
They do taste a little different to a rolled out chapati though because of the additional flour needed for rolling. I actually prefer a flour chap (as I call them) but for convenience, I can't fault the electric.
As for the ginger grater, I wouldn't be without it. Not once have I broken skin.
Can be used for just the pulp and juice leaving the fibre behind or, with a gentle scrape with the point of the knife in between the rows of spikes, then a quick slap upside down onto the chopping board, everything falls off.
Needing only a rinse under the tap.
