Why you’ll love this recipe
It requires only 2 main ingredients - flour and butter
The roti pairs perfectly with any veggie or meat curry (or as a snack on their own!)
The recipe is authentically South African Indian
Suggested Modifications
Make it diary-free and vegan by substituting the butter with a plant-based option
Pan frying is the long pole, and can leave the raw dough to dry up in the meantime. Place a damp cloth over the dough to keep it moist.
If you don't have a rolling pin, just use any firm cylinder around the house (I used a tall metal water bottle)
