African Village grandma cooks chapati and Butter Beans.

In this video, we join my Grandma in the kitchen to learn her method for making Chapatis and a rich, thick Butter Bean stew.
We captured the entire 50-minute process to show you exactly how it’s done from kneading the dough to the perfect "golden brown" onion base. She even reveals her secret ingredient for thickening the bean stew: fresh Pumpkin!
