Their freshly made unleavened flatbread chapati has a soft chewy texture that tears easily, and hot off the grill, has a lovely smoky bready grainy savoury sweet aroma.
.
Largely unchanged since patriarch Iftekhar Ahmad set up the stall in the 1960s, his grandsons today carry on the traditional receipe, making chapati using only wheat flour, water, and secret kneading techniques know only to their family.
.
The most popular pairing is with mutton keema (SGD $3.50), a rich curry of minced mutton, diced potatoes, and garden peas, bold with meaty savoury salty spicy notes. Stewed for up to 3 hours, so succulent.

There is an enjoyable appeal for freshly made bread, hot off the oven. This near universal appeal is the reason why this stall draws a queue at meal times.
.
Hot off the grill after some quick tossing, their fresh unleavened flatbread chapati has a fine grainy surface from a dusting of wheat flour, and a tender chewy feel.
.
Has a slight smoky aroma with grainy savoury sweet bready flavour. A side of juicy cucumbers lend a refreshing vegetal sweet flavour contrast, while a minced coriander pesto lends a bright vegetal herbal bitter sweet flavour.

Their rendition carries lovely char marks from the grill, the enticing smoky aroma complementing its grainy bready savoury sweet flavour.

With a soft fluffy chewy texture, their chapati is great at picking up morsels of meat, vegetables, or curry. Yum.

Rolled with whole wheat flour, then baked on a skillet.
.
While texture of the chapati is slightly fimer than elsewhere, flavour is delicately grainy savoury sweet.
.
Being thin, it's meant to be used for scooping up ingredients (instead of absorbing curries).
