Chickpea flour roti’s
Ingredients:
100g Chickpea flour, sifted
130ml cold water
¼ salt
¼ paprika
¼ turmeric
¼ garam masala
rapeseed oil
Method:
Add the spices to the sifted flour and mix through.
Slowly add the water and whisk gently until the batter is of a thick pouring consistency (makes 200ml batter) and set aside.
Heat a tawa or frying pan (I used a 16cm diameter non-stick frying pan) on medium to high heat.
Spread ½ to 1 teaspoon of oil along the bottom of the pan.
Using a ladle gently pour c. 35ml of the batter in the centre of the and spread out the batter using a silicon/plastic flat spatula until a thin circular ‘roti’ is formed. Allow the underside to cook.
Once the edges of the pancake start to lift, turn the ‘roti’ over to cook the other side again.
Continue turning over the ‘roti’ over until both sides are cooked and crisp.
Remove from the heat and place on a warm plate.
Remove the pan from the heat for a minute or so to cool it a little otherwise the batter for the next "‘roti’ will cook before you have time to spread it out thinly.
Repeat steps 4 - 9 until all the batter has been used.
Serve with any of your favourite curries.
