12. ROTI (Serves 4) 

Ingredients

3 cups	plain while flour
¼ cup	oil
2 teaspoons	butter
other	hot water

Method

Mix the flour and oil in a bowl. Add water and knead the dough until it becomes supple and elastic.

Form balls about five centimetres in diameter.

On a flat surface, flatten the ball, sprinkle flour and roll until you have a circular roti about the size of a small dinner plate. Sprinkle flour while you are rolling to stop the roti from sticking to the surface.

Heat a heavy saucepan or griddle. Place the roti on the griddle and cook one side till small bubbles appear. Usually takes about 15 to 20 seconds. Turn the roti and cook similarly on the other side. Keep checking the underside of the roti so that it doesn't burn. Cook for approximately one minute.

Stack the rotis on a plate and lightly butter one side only. Serve rotis hot with any curry. Roti is great for lunchs wrap around some dry curry.
