Sri Lankan Flat Bread (rotis)

Ingredients

• •180 ml fine coconut
• •540 ml self-rising flour
• •240 to 300 ml cold water
• •ghee (Indian clarified butter) or vegetable oil

Directions

1. 1Mix the coconut and flour in a bowl. Gradually add the water, stirring until the dough is soft and comes away clean from the bowl. Turn the dough onto a floured surface. Cover and let stand for 30 minutes. Chopped onions and/or chilies may be added for flavor.
2. 2Heat a griddle to 190°C. Divide the dough into 12 equal parts. On a floured surface, flatten each part with floured hands into thin rounds about five inches wide. Brush the griddle with the ghee or oil. Cook the bread on both sides until golden brown, about two minutes on each side. Serve hot. Curries are a good accompaniment.
