Directions

  • First of all get the breads going! Mix the flour, baking powder, and salt with a whisk in a large bowl. Add the warm water combine with flour softly and form into a soft ball. Do not knead! Rest for 20 minutes. 
  • Turn out onto floured surface and divide into 4. Roll each portion into a ball but don’t overwork. Roll out the balls to 1/4 inch thick and sprinkle with flour.
  • Make a cut half way into the centre of the circle and roll the left side around onto the right side to form a cone.
  • Fold the cone over from the thin onto the thick end and reform a ball.
  • Set aside to rest for 20 minutes. Roll the ball into 1/8 inch thick discs and place on hot cast iron pan.
  • Brush with oil and flip immediately and brush the other side. Flip until the rotis are puffed.
  • For the sauce, chop ingredients roughly and add to a food processor and blitz. You can make this as hot as you like by adding chilli. 
  • Place fish in a bowl and add the lime juice, Mother in Laws Tongue and minced garlic. Leave an hour in the fridge. Mix flour and Exodust in a bowl and dredge the fish to cover in the flour mix. Heat oil in a frying pan and submerge fish to fry until golden brown.
  • Serve the fish with the warm roti and spoonfuls of Mother in Laws Tongue for bite and freshness!!
