In a pan, heat oil over medium heat and sauté onions until translucent.

Add minced garlic, ginger, green chilies, and curry leaves; cook until fragrant.

Stir in cooked chicken, black pepper, turmeric, and coconut; cook until heated through.

Remove from heat and let the filling cool slightly.

Divide the dough into equal portions and roll each into a circle.

Place a scoop of chicken filling in the center of each circle.

Fold the edges over the filling and seal tightly to form a pocket.

Heat oil in a pan over medium heat and cook the rotti until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.
