Curry with Roti
Ingredients
2 cups bread flour
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2/3 cups water
3/4 cups basmati rice
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 onion, finely diced
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 inch piece fresh gingerroot, shredded
1 teaspoon coriander
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon curry powder
1/2 teaspoon garam masala
1 lb. uncooked chicken, cubed
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1/2 cup plain yoghurt
Directions (Roti)
1. In a large bowl, sift together flour and salt. Add oil and mix with a fork until flour is crumbly. Mix in water until the dough pulls together. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 8 minutes. Cover and set aside about 45 minutes (during which time you can make the curry).
2. Knead dough again until smooth. Divide into six equal parts. Form each part into a round. Roll out each round as thinly as possible; dust with flour to keep from sticking.
3. Invert a heavy cast iron pan over burner and heat. Spread roti over pan and cook. Roti will cook in 40-50 seconds. Tiny black spots will appear when it is finished.
Directions (Curry)
1. Cook rice according to package directions.
2. In a frying pan, cook onions in vegetable oil over med-high heat until clear.
3. Add garlic, ginger, and spices. Stir.
4. Add cubed chicken and heat until cooked through..
5. Stir in tomato paste, then yoghurt.
6. Cover and let simmer 5 minutes.
7. Serve with rice and roti.
Notes
I'd like to try adding some other vegetables to this some time but I'm not sure which ones to begin with.
