Receta Recipe For Roti
Quick Roti – Extracted from Road Tripping by Justin Bonello, written by Helena Lombard (Penguin)
Dave and I tend to eat our breakfast and lunch time meals on a basis of habit. During the week we have home made toasted muesli for breakfast, and on weekends we have eggs, either poached, scrambled or in the form of omelettes. Weekday lunches are salads, smoked fish or left over supper and on the weekends we have a wrap of some sort. I used to buy tortillas but then discovered that cost wise, they were cheaper to make at home. But you need to make them with time to spare, and some weekends this is just not possible. And then Dave discovered that our local store sold home made roti in packs of 5. Now, this is perfect for when you are having a curry but not so great for lunch times as we have one each, and that leaves one over for the next weekend. And, we don’t spend every weekend at home, which means that sometimes the roti don’t last before we need them again. Cost wise, they are not cheap to buy, but they sure are cheap to make. And the plus side, is that this recipe for roti takes very little time. I have put in the recipe that you can divide the dough into 3, and I do that when using my crêpe pan. However, on the weekends we use a large frying pan for the filling, and I divide this dough in 2 and make us huge roti’s to enjoy.
