Rotis

[browndog]

Hey all you curry lovers, anyone have a good recipe for rotis? we all know the thin flat ones, but at a takeaway near my place the cook is a Malay woman and her rotis are thick and sort of rolled around from the middle out and you can unwind it if you get my drift. Just made a nice malasian red chicken curry and off to google a roti recipe.

cheers

Made 'em ages ago (like 15 years!). From what I remember, quite a long and involved process, took a fair while (ie.. multiple hours). Actually, may have been Naan, cant recall!

BD,

An Indian lady taught me in Fiji. Basically:

Flour into a bowl, well in the middle. Pour boiling water into it and stir until combined. Add ghee and knead until smooth.
Roll into golf ball size then roll round and flat with a rolling pin. It should be about 5mm in thickness.
Brush a hot non-stick pan with ghee and add roti. Brush the uncooked side and flip when the 'blisters' start.
Keep covered with a tea towel to retain moisture and not dry out.

Simple and easy, perfect with curry.

Cheers.

Not just crab curry Katie, but traditional chicken curry which you can't get here

Is it the north Indian curry's which are dry, and the south creamy, or vice versa??

Dry curry with all the spices. I'll post the reciepe I received for that :icon_drool2:
