This
recipe came from “Mildreds” - a
vegetarian restaurant in Soho. Whilst it may not be safe and
convenient for everyone to visit at the moment, I can confirm that as
at today, it's open for business. For future reference Mildreds
is at 45
Lexington Street, London W1F 9AN – www.mildreds.co.uk.
In
the meantime, if you feel like treating yourself to their cookery
book, Mildreds
is the one! It's full and great ideas and recipes – what I also
liked is that it gives you guidance on Gluten Free and Vegan options
too.
Here's
their recipe for Garlic Rotis :
20g
unsalted butter
3
garlic cloves, finely chopped (or paste)
½
tsp dried chilli flakes (or a pinch of powder)
200g
self raising flour (plus extra for dusting)
50g
wholemeal self raising flour
80-100ml
water
vegetable
oil
Warm
the butter in a small saucepan over a low heat, add the garlic and
chilli and cook, stirring, for a minute until the garlic begins to
release its flavour but not coloured. Tip into a mixing bowl with
the flours and gradually add the water, using a wooden spoon, until
you have a moist (not sticky) dough. Knead the dough for a few
minutes until smooth and then cover with a clean damp cloth and leave
to rise for 30 minutes until nearly doubled in size.
Divide
into 8 pieces and form into balls. Dust with a little flour and then
roll into thin circles of about 5mm (¼ inch) thick. Use a heavy
based frying pan - add a drop of vegetable oil to grease. Cook the
rotis on a medium heat – one at a time for 2-3 minutes each side
until puffed up and brown. Serve immediately or cover with a clean
tea towel and reheat in a low oven when needed.
I
made them ahead and then reheated before serving and my only addition
was to finish them off with a brush of melted butter and a sprinkle
of garlic salt.
I
hope you enjoy your time with your family and friends and that I've
given you some ideas for food to share with everyone and have some
fun!
