Bread in a pan
The Indians bake their flatbread called “chapatti” made of wheat dough on a pan without oil, and even if there is oil, the purpose is to prevent sticking. So does the Yemeni chuch, which is made with a thin batter, if made on a non-stick pan, or a pan that after many fryings no longer sticks to it. Apparently, there is no cooking here. Should the blessing of food be recited over a meal that is prescribed for them?

Simply put, cooking in a pan without oil is baking, not cooking or frying, and therefore they recite the blessing of the one who takes it out. I have seen that they do not recite the blessing of the one who takes it out, although the reason is not clear to me. See here:

Although for the chuch, the batter is thin, so the custom is understandable. I don’t know the shape of the chapati batter, but if it is thick batter, there is a stronger side for the expiring knee.
