Shashi..my husband is not well right now, but as soon as he's feeling better, I'll post the recipe okay?
**It takes a long time to do, but so worth it...!! DOUGH: 8 oz all purpose flour 3 tsp baking powder water (about 1/2 -3/4 cups) 2 oz margarine/ghee **Additional ingredients 1/4 pt cooking oit 3/4 cup flour Pastry brush
-mix flour and baking powder -rub in margarine/ghee -add water slowly and mix in until a soft, but not sticky dough forms -Knead for about 3-5 minutes until smooth...coat surface a a little oil , cover and leave at room temperature for 3-4 hours.. -Then cut into 8 pieces, round it off with hands and leave at room temperature for as long as needed to make the filling!
METHOD: -boil split pea with saffron, salt until aldente (not soft) -drain well ..let it dry out as much as possible _Using a food processor, blend the split peas until fine.. -In a fry pan heat oil, and add garlic, pepper, geera and finely grounf split peas...cook on low for a few minutes...let cool _Then roll out/or stretch out by hand the dough to about 2-3in diameter, coat in flour. _Still holding in one hand fill with 1-2tbsp split pea mixture -Fold the dough around the mixture and make a ball...make sure the end were brought together and well sealed..keep pinching until it's all secured.. _Roll in flour to cover all surface...make all eight balls . _Then put a large fry pan on the stove at medium high (10 -12 in diameter) or tawah if you have one _Roll out Ball to about 8-10 inches circle..take it easy as you don't want to break the dough and have the filling come out! _Using your pastry brush coat the hot pan with cooking oil _Place the first roti into it..cook for about 1 minute _Coat the side that up (gently) with oil, then flip press the edges with a spaula to make sure it's cooking too _it should be swelling at this point _Flip one more time then place on foil that 's been covered with a kitchen towel...cover as you cook the others the same way!
ENJOY!...You can make larger batches and freeze them individually after the raw dough has been stuffed with the pea filling...but only do so after you've experimented a few times and feel comfortable with the recipe!
