Flaky Roti and Flavorful Chickpeas
I absolutely love roti, my favorite kind being the Southeast Asian variety (such as Malaysian roti canai). According to Wikipedia,”Many different variations of flat breads are found in many cultures across the globe, from South Asia to the Americas. The traditional flat bread originating from the South Asia is known as roti; pronounced “rho tee”. It is normally eaten with cooked vegetables or curries; it can be called a carrier for curries or cooked vegetables.”
One sunny afternoon, after finishing lunch at a Malaysian restaurant on 8th Ave in the Sunset Park section of Brooklyn (also known as Brooklyn’s Chinatown), and of course having roti canai as an appetizer, I decided that I had to find an easy way to make roti myself at home! I had tried a package of frozen roti several years ago that was absolutely amazing, so I was on a hunt to find it again. And what better place to look for it than in Brooklyn’s Chinatown.
