No, chapatti does not typically contain a raising agent. It is made from whole wheat flour, water, and salt, and the dough is kneaded and rolled out into thin discs before being cooked on a griddle. The flatbread relies on the steam produced during cooking to puff up slightly, but it does not rise like leavened bread.
