Roti

This bread makes a good alternative to naan bread.

What you need

450 g plain flour, sifted
4 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
40 g ghee
60 ml (approx) vegetable oil for frying

Method

  1. Sift the flour, baking powder and salt into a large mixing bowl. Work in the ghee or butter until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Knead in sufficient hand hot warm water to make a soft but not sticky dough. Knead for 5 more min until really smooth.

  2. Divide the mixture into portions. Shape into balls. Flatten out with a rolling pin to a circle about 10 cm (4in) wide. Place on baking trays.

  3. Heat a little oil in a frying pan or on a griddle. Lightly oil the roti. Fry for about 3 min on each side until golden brown. Serve.
