chicken

🥗Healthier: tofu

💰Cheaper: chicken thighs

Tofu is a plant-based option, while thighs are often less expensive than breasts.

Measure 2 cups of flour and place it in a mixing bowl.

Add 2 tablespoons of baking powder to the flour.

Add 1/4 teaspoon of salt to the mixture.

Mix the flour, baking powder, and salt together.

Add 1 teaspoon of butter to the mixture.

Pour in 4 tablespoons of vegetable oil and mix until combined.

Form the dough, ensuring it is sticky, and set it aside for 20 minutes.

Prepare the chicken by adding chopped potato and blended seasonings (garlic, onion, ginger).

Cook the chicken with curry powder until it is browned.

Roll out the dough as thin as possible to create layers for the Roti.

Fold the dough to create layers and roll it back into a ball.

Set the layered dough aside for another 20 minutes to rest.

After resting, roll out the dough again to prepare for cooking.

Heat a cast iron skillet over medium heat.

Cook the rolled Roti in the skillet until bubbles form, indicating it is cooking properly.

Check the consistency of the curry chicken and adjust as necessary before serving.
