Roti Recipe

ROTI

From tinadc 16 years ago

Very versitile recipe: It freezes well. TRADITIONALLY IT IS EATEN BY BREAKING PIECES OR ROTI AND USE IT TO EAT CHICKEN CURRY OR ANY OTHER CURRY

Lightly beat warm water and egg;
Mix it into the flour, salt, sugar and (if) cuman seeds and fenugreek leaves;
Knead the dough for at least 10 minutes until it is very elastic;
Devide into 12 portions androll each one out to abut 2mm thick;
Brush with oil (I prefere olive, but some say that sunflower oil is also fine) and roll up like a swiss roll;
Roll it then up from one side so that it forms a small square;
Let it rest for half an hour in the fridge;
Roll each square out into a round of about 3mm thick;
Stretch it with the hands until it forms a round;
Fry it in deep oil till puffed and caramel colour on both sides;

I suppose you can but I won't, if you do replace the dried fenugreek with ground remember to use less (very little) ;-)
