roti dough

🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour dough

💰Cheaper: all-purpose flour

Whole wheat adds fiber, while all-purpose is more accessible.

Prepare the roti dough and let it rest for 30 minutes.

Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Sauté chopped onion, garlic, and ginger until fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.

Add diced chicken to the skillet and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.

Stir in chopped bell pepper, tomato, and curry powder; cook for 3-4 minutes.

Add thyme, scotch bonnet pepper, lime juice, and chicken broth; simmer for 10-15 minutes until chicken is cooked through.

Season with salt and black pepper to taste; stir in chopped cilantro before serving.

Roll out the rested roti dough into thin circles.

Cook each roti in a dry skillet over medium heat until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes per side.

Fill each roti with the chicken mixture and fold or roll as desired.

Serve warm with additional lime wedges.
