Digital content creator Raymond Kahuma has clinched his second Guinness World Record, this time for the Fastest Chapati Cooking. Executed with precision in Kenya, Kahuma accomplished the remarkable feat by making three chapattis in an astounding three minutes and ten seconds. The record was officially recognized by Guinness World Records (GWR), and Kahuma proudly displayed his well-deserved certificate.
The achievement unfolded on November 19, 2023, as Kahuma, surrounded by enthusiastic Kenyan supporters, worked diligently on a table adorned with the national flag. Sharing insights into his record-breaking technique, he described the meticulous process on his social media platforms. From the initial touch of the dough, the clock started ticking, and within 20 seconds, the first chapatti was rolled and ready. The subsequent two chapattis swiftly followed, and with precise flipping on the hot pan, Kahuma secured his victory in three minutes and ten seconds.
Accompanied by a caption on his social media, Kahuma proudly declared, “I Broke The Fastest Chapati Cooking World Record From Kenya.” This success adds to Kahuma’s previous Guinness World Record in 2022 when he claimed the title for creating the world’s largest rolex, a local delicacy. Together with a team of chefs and bakers, they dedicated 14 hours to prepare a massive rolex weighing 204.6 kgs and measuring 2.32 meters.
Kahuma’s culinary prowess, however, has not been without challenges. A failed attempt in 2020 to break the record for the world’s largest rolex cost him over sh10 million. Undeterred, he persevered, succeeding in 2022 and now adding another accolade to his name with the Fastest Chapati Cooking record.
Notably, Kahuma’s journey has not been without its share of frustrations. In June 2023, he expressed disappointment with the Government of Uganda for not acknowledging his achievements. His discontent stemmed from observing the President of Kenya, William Ruto, awarding significant prizes to athlete Faith Kipyegon for her world records in the 1500m and 5000m categories.
Kahuma’s plea on social media highlighted the disparity, stating, “Really nice to see African countries’ governments recognizing these world record holders. Not a single person from @GovUganda @MTWAUganda has ever acknowledged my world record after one year, and that really hurts.”
