  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 3 cups flour
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/4 cup red onion, minced
  • 2 tablespoons jalapeño, minced
  • Olive oil

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.
