Rotis are classic puffed Indian flatbreads. They were introduced to Trinidad by the large Indian population there and have become a traditional and staple part of the Trinidadian diet. Indeed the combination of roti with curried goat must rank as one of the contenders for Trinidad's national dish.
Ingredients:
280g plain flour
2 tbsp plain flour
1 tsp salt
35g powdered milk
2 tbsp baking powder
110g butter, chilled and sliced
2 tsp canola oil
Method:
In a bowl, combine the 280g flour, salt, powdered milk and baking powder. Stir with a fork to combine then add just enough water to bring the mixture into a soft but pliable dough. Knead in the bowl until smooth and elastic then cut into four equal pieces, shape these into balls then cover with a tea towel and set aside to rest for 15 minutes.
At the end of this time gently flatten each ball then roll out into circles about 3mm thick. Spread a quarter of the sliced butter on top of each disk then sprinkle 1/2 tsp of the remaining flour over each. Gather the edges of each circle and bring together as a pouch. Pinch closed then flatten and roll out once more to form a circle 3mm thick.
Now heat your cast iron griddle or non-stick frying pan. Continue heating until a few drops of water splashed on the surface sizzles. Lightly brush the surface of one roti with oil then place on your pan (oiled side down) then oil the other side. As soon as the roti puffs up turn it over and cook the other side (do not allow to brown). Remove from the pan and set aside to cool for 15 minutes, whilst you prepare the remaining roti in the same fashion.
Serve with a curry or stew (the classic combination would be roti with Trinidadian Curried Goat.
