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
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.
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.
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.
Serving suggestion
Serve with curries or soups.
Cook's tip
Mix garlic, spices or herbs into the dough portions for a change.
