TRINIDADIAN ROTI RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt, and mix until fully incorporated.
• Slowly add the water until the mixture forms a dough.
• Divide the dough into roughly 12 loyas (balls), cover with a dish towel, and let rest for about 30 minutes.
• Sprinkle each ball with flour and flatten or roll out into a circle roughly 5 inches (12-cm) in diameter.
• Spread ghee on each round and make a cut from the center out to the edge, then roll to make a cone.
• Press the peak and flatten the center of the cone. Let rest for another 30 minutes.
• On a floured surface, roll each ball into a circle roughly 8 inches (20-cm) in diameter.
• Heat a tawah or flat frying pan over medium-high heat. Coat with oil and place a round of dough on the pan.
• Cook the dough until light brown, watching carefully, about 5 minutes. Then flip and cook on the other side, about 3-4 minutes more. Repeat with the remaining dough rounds.
• Break up the cooked roti with your hands or serve whole.
• Serve the fried roti with the fillings.
• Enjoy!

ALOO ROTI

Steps:

• Put the potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add enough salt so the water tastes as briny as sea water. Bring to boil and cook until completely tender when pierced with the tip of a knife, 40 to 50 minutes. (If you're in a hurry, you can quarter the potatoes and boil about 20 minutes.) Drain the potatoes.
• Once cool enough to handle, peel and mash the potatoes in a large steel or glass mixing bowl. I find it easier to get an even mash by coarsely grating the potatoes. Add the ghee, chiles, cilantro, 1 cup of the flour and 1 teaspoon salt and mix well to form a soft dough. Add more flour as needed to form a dough, but be careful and add a little at a time as you cannot add any water to this recipe. Divide the dough into about 15 balls.
• Heat a nonstick skillet or seasoned cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat.
• Keep a bowl of flour nearby. Dab each dough ball in flour, flatten to look like a patty and then dip in flour again. Roll each patty into a thin round on a generously floured surface. The potato in the dough makes it extremely sticky and you will need to use the flour as you roll.
• Add 1/2 teaspoon of oil to the skillet, then add a roti. Cook until light brown spots appear on each side, about 1 1/2 minutes per side. Repeat with the remaining roti and additional oil.
• In India, we put the rotis in an insulated chapati box or insulated casserole dish to keep warm as we go. Alternatively, you could wrap them in a towel or kitchen cloth to keep warm.

ALOO ROTI (POTATO ROTIS)

Steps:

• Boil potatoes till tender, then grate them.
• Mix together in a large bowl, the wholewheat flour, AP flour, fenugreek and mint leaves, cilantro, chili, ginger, ajwain seeds, salt and pepper.
• Mix in the grated potatoes and oil.
• You should have a semi-firm dough that does not stick to your fingers, but if you don't have enough moisture, add some of the optional yogurt to yield a dough of such consistency.
• Do not knead the dough anymore than needed to incorporate everything. There is also no need to let it rest.
• Divide the dough into 10-12 balls with lightly oiled, clean hands.
• Dust your rolling surface with some flour, and roll each ball into a thin 6-inch circle.
• Heat your griddle over medium-high heat and cook the breads until they are speckled with golden dots on each side. This should take about a minute per side.
• Remove from griddle, brush with butter and serve.
