Sada Roti & Tomato Choka

Method

1. 1

   Knead flour, baking powder, salt and water into a soft dough; rest 30 minutes.

2. 2

   Roll thick rounds and cook on the tawa until freckled, then swell each over an open flame or under the grill.

3. 3

   Char the tomatoes over flame or under a hot grill until blistered and collapsing.

4. 4

   Peel and crush the tomatoes with garlic, salt and scotch bonnet.

5. 5

   Heat oil with the sliced onion and pour it sizzling over the choka — the chonkay.

   💡 You should hear it. Silence means the oil was too cold.

6. 6

   Tear roti, scoop choka, repeat until both are gone.
