Add warm water to a jug or big cup.

Stir in sugar and salt until fully combined.

In a mixing bowl, add 3 cups of all purpose flour and 2 tablespoons of cooking oil.

Rub in the cooking oil until fully combined with the flour.

Add water a little at a time until a dough forms, kneading for 2 to 3 minutes.

Transfer to countertop and knead until soft, adding flour if sticky or water if dry.

Rest the dough for around 20 minutes, covered with oil to prevent drying out.

Roll out the rested dough into chapatis, cooking each for 30 seconds to 1 minute on a chapati pan over medium flame until bubbles form.

Transfer cooked chapatis to a kitchen towel to keep warm.

In a pot, add 3 cups of water and bring to a boil.

Add 5 smokies to the boiling water and let sit for around a minute to blanch.

Prepare kachumbari by slicing onion, tomatoes, and coriander, mixing with salt to season.

Fry the blanched smokies in a little oil for around 30 seconds for flavor.

Slice chapati, add halved smokies, kachumbari, and sauces of choice, then fold to serve.
