Arrowroot is a plant that is grown in many parts of the world including Japan. They grow in wetlands as they need much water to grow.
#Wikipedia has this to say
Arrowroot is a starch obtained from the rhizomes (rootstock) of several tropical plants, traditionally Maranta arundinacea, but also Florida arrowroot from Zamia integrifolia, and tapioca from cassava (Manihot esculenta), which is often labelled as arrowroot. Polynesian arrowroot or pia (Tacca leontopetaloides), and Japanese arrowroot (Pueraria lobata), also called kudzu, are used in similar ways.

250 grams arrowroot flour
250 grams wheat flour
4 eggs
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 table spoons sugar
Cooking fat.
Water
Mix the arrow root flour, wheat flour, salt and sugar in a container. Stir thoroughly so that they mix thoroughly. Break your eggs in another container and stir thoroughly. Add it to the flour mixture as you stir the mixture with your fingers.
Add water to the mixture. Do it slowly and little by little as you knead between your fingers. Do not make it too porridge like or very hard. Roll it as you knead till the dough is fine enough. Add some fats and continue kneading.
Store the mixture in a clean container as you prepare your board roller and frying pan. When you are ready, you can begin to roll.
Spread your mixture on the table. Roll it till it is about half an inch in thickness. Cut strips of an inch in broadness. Take the strips and roll them in your arms till you make balls almost your fist in diameter.
Put each ball on the chapati rolling board and roll till they make a smooth round flat bread. Light your fire and fry them on your frying pan. Fry till they have appetising chocolate brown patches all over them. Lest you forget, keep your fire low and turn to bake both sides of the chapati. Keep on doing this till you finish your strips or balls. This is a meal for the whole family.
Serve it with meat stew, fish stew or any other. You will have the best meal ever.
