Roti

Roti, when done correctly, is downright delectable. Roti is a stuffed roti made with flour, baking powder, salt, water, oil, and shortening that is stuffed with curried meat, fish, or vegetables (for cooking). The roti shell resembles a wrap, but it has a distinct flavor that goes well with the curry inside. Lunchtime is usually the greatest time to eat a roti because it can be quite full!

Ingredients:

2 cups of flour, ½ teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, 1 and ½ cup of water, Vegetable oil, ½ teaspoon melted butter (as a substitute for ghee)

Instruction:

1. In a mixing bowl, add together the salt, baking powder, and flour.
2. Stir in the water and oil. Mix and knead the dough until it becomes soft and smooth. Put it aside and leave for 15 minutes.
3. Afterwards, cut the dough into six pieces and turn them into balls. Flatten each ball using your fingers, into disks measuring 3 inches.
4. Sprinkle each disk with a little bit of flour.Place a knob of butter in a hot skillet until it melts.
5. Reduce the heat, and put one disk into the skillet. Cook until the disk has a light brown color.
6. Using a wide spatula, turn each disk to cook the other side. Repeat this with the remaining five disks.
7. Fill each roti with a cup of your desired filling. To cover up the filling, wrap it around the mixture.
8. Serve warm.
