I searched via a cook's best friend (i.e. Google) and found that there are endless recipes out there. Posh ones, slummy ones, ones that use yeast, ones that use baking powder, ones that use SR flour, flavoured ones, plain ones, dry fried ones, baked ones . . .
I reckoned that any home made one, fresh and still warm, is going to taste good, however it is made. I'm no expert and my palate is not that 'refined'. So this is what I did.
For the dough I used SR flour (please don't shudder, it was fine) and natural yogurt - 100g flour and about 50g natural yogurt (probably a bit more than that but I didn't really measure. I seasoned with salt and pepper.
I 'cheated' and used Thermione but it would be simple by hand, just taking a bit longer. Mix together the flour, yogurt and seasonings and knead, aiming for a dough that is just on the dry side of being sticky. If it's too sticky, add more flour; if it's too dry, add more yogurt.
That's it really. Wrap the dough and pop it in the fridge for about an hour. Then take it out, break off portions, shape and roll out. I went for sort of circles after trying to shape the first one (in the photo below) which ended up more like a square with rounded corners! because that's easiest
There are differing opinions about the cooking. I just dry fried and kept the first one warm, covered with a clean cloth, until the second one was made and so on. They puff up quite a lot, as you can see, before going down again.
They were 'basic', I know, but very tasty with the chicken curry! I suppose one could brush them over with garlic butter and that would be nice too but I didn't, not this time.
That's it. I made four, far too much really, but I ate the lot because there was a lot of gravy. That's my excuse
Very delicious!
Gravy is a great excuse!
