Coconut Roti (Pol Roti)

Directions

• 1)

  In a mini food processor, pulse the coconut with 1 tablespoon water to rehydrate it.

• 2)

  In a large bowl, mix the salt, flour and coconut. Add water, a little bit at a time, and knead until smooth and elastic. Using kitchen gloves, add the jalapeño and red onion and incorporate. Cover and let the dough rest for 30 minutes or overnight.

• 3)

  Form 10 balls, about the size of small tangerines, from the dough.

• 4)

  On a dinner plate, put 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Using your fingers and the palm of your hand, shape the dough ball into a circle on the plate.

• 5)

  Heat a skillet over medium heat. Cook the roti for about 4 minutes on each side.

• 6)

  Repeat until you have 10 rotis.
