Largest chapati
This comes just a month after travel and food content creator Raymond Kahuma recently embarked on an ambitious project to make the world’s largest chapati, aiming to break the existing Guinness World Record.
The challenge, which he documented on his YouTube account on Friday, November 14, 2025, saw Kahuma invest heavily in materials, manpower, and equipment to make the attempt possible.
Raymond, renowned for breaking the Guinness World Record for the largest Ugandan Rolex in 2022 and for the fastest time to make three chapatis, attempted to cook a 200-kilogram chapati.
The current record for the largest chapati stands at 145 kilograms and three metres in diameter, set by Dagdu Seth Ganpati Sarvajanik Mahotsav in Jamnagar, India, on September 22, 2012. Kahuma hoped to surpass this benchmark, building a massive setup to achieve the feat.
In his YouTube video, Kahuma detailed the process from start to finish. He began by constructing a giant brick stove measuring 3.5 metres in diameter, a project that took one day and cost Ksh137,000.
He then created a custom frying pan, welding six large pieces of metal into a reinforced circle capable of holding the enormous chapati dough, which took six days and Ksh290,000 to complete.
Next, he crafted oversized wooden rolling pins to flatten the dough and 20 thin wooden planks designed to slide under the chapati to prevent sticking and burning.
A massive square metal frame was also built to suspend a butcher’s scale for weighing the chapati, costing Ksh133,000. By this point, Kahuma had already spent over Ksh500,000 preparing for the attempt.
The cooking process involved mixing 153 kilograms of flour with water, salt, sugar, oil, and turmeric to make two giant buckets of dough.
