A buttery fried roti cooked with egg on the griddle, rolled and served with curry sauce or sweetened condensed milk.

Ingredients

  • 400g firm tofu
  • 1 cup glutinous rice
  • 1 tbsp minced garlic
  • 1 tsp red curry paste
  • 1/4 cup neutral vegetable oil
  • 200g cherry tomatoes
  • a handful of fresh cilantro, chopped
  • a generous spoonful of coconut cream
  • 500ml water
  • a pinch of ground turmeric
  • 200g baby corn

Instructions

  1. 1

    Gather and prep the roti dough and chicken thighs, measuring everything out so it is ready to go.

  2. 2

    Heat coconut oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat until warm but not smoking.

  3. 3

    Add the torn kaffir lime leaves and Thai bird's eye chilies, cooking gently until softened, about 3-4 minutes.

  4. 4

    Stir in the chicken thighs, season with dried shrimp, and cook until just done, about 10 mins.

  5. 5

    Warm the roti dough alongside, turning once, until heated through and lightly toasted.

  6. 6

    Plate the roti dough and spoon the cooked mixture over the top.

Tips

Keep the heat moderate so the chicken thighs cooks through gently without drying out or turning rubbery.

Prep the roti dough and chicken thighs the night before to make busy mornings much easier.
