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
Ingredients:
180ml warm water
1 egg
400g flour
1tsp salt
1tsp sugar
handful cuman seeds (optional)
handfield dried fenugreek leaves (optional)
olive oil
Directions:
1. Lightly beat warm water and egg;
2. Mix it into the flour, salt, sugar and (if) cuman seeds and fenugreek leaves;
3. Knead the dough for at least 10 minutes until it is very elastic;
4. Devide into 12 portions androll each one out to abut 2mm thick;
5. Brush with oil (I prefere olive, but some say that sunflower oil is also fine) and roll up like a swiss roll;
6. Roll it then up from one side so that it forms a small square;
7. Let it rest for half an hour in the fridge;
8. Roll each square out into a round of about 3mm thick;
9. Stretch it with the hands until it forms a round;
10. Fry it in deep oil till puffed and caramel colour on both sides;
