Best Answer

While preparing Chapati, wheat floor is turned into a hard paste by adding water and then turned into shape of a circular plate. This circular plate is placed on hot Tawaa where differential heating takes place , and when the temperature of one side rises very high the water remaining in the pasted floor turns into steam and separates but due to difference in temperature in can not leak through the upper layer of the chapati, which starts expanding and filled in the process.

therefore, it is steam which is getting filled in the Chapati.
