Mash the cooked pumpkin until smooth.

Combine whole wheat flour, salt, and baking powder in a bowl.

Add the pumpkin puree to the flour mixture and mix well.

Gradually add water to form a soft dough, kneading for a few minutes.

Cover the dough and let it rest for 30 minutes.

Divide the dough into equal portions and roll each into a ball.

Flatten each ball and roll out into a thin circle.

Heat margarine in a skillet over medium heat until shimmering.

Cook each chapati for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.

Serve warm with your choice of curry or stew.
