Very tasty roti! The only things I would change would be to use 2 cups of peas instead of 1 1/2 and to let the dough rest 15 minutes or so before rolling out and cooking. Any that were left over the next day made a perfect snack with a curried yogurt dip!

This is wonderful! Any changes were based on ingredients at hand rather than fault with the recipe. Only had dried cilantro (I know...) so used that and added some parsley as well. Only had about 3/4 cup of peas, and didn't realize until it was too late and I had started, so I added an equal amount of canned carrots, mashed. Also added a little onion and garlic powder. Kneaded in the Kitchenaid with the dough hook and added water a half a tablespoon at a time until the dough came together... Let the dough rest for about an hour before cooking. Made 16 as the recipe says and they were the perfect size. Picky husband ate about 6 of these, so I think 'nuff said.
