Soft Chapati Recipe
Roasted Soft Chapatis
Preparation Time: 40 minutes
Serve: 3 persons.
Chapati is a nutritious staple, providing calories from complex carbohydrates for sustained energy. It offers protein and healthy fats and is a good source of dietary fiber, promoting fullness and aiding digestion. Rich in B vitamins, iron, and potassium, chapati is also cholesterol-free and low in sodium, making it a wholesome addition to any meal.
Ingredients
3 cups of baking flour
3 tbsp of oil
Salt
3/4 cup of water
Preparation method:
Into a big bowl, add the 3 cups of baking flour, add a pinch of salt, and pour in water, then mix to make dough.
Knead well, then divide into 3 balls. Using a rolling pin, roll out into thin circles.
Pour 1 tablespoon of oil into a heated pan, then place your rolled chapati one by one.
Turn every side of the chapati until they are golden brown.
Mbuzi Choma Recipe
Oven-Roasted Goat Meat
Preparation Time: 2.5 hours
Serve: 3 persons.
Goat meat has a lean, firm texture that becomes tender and succulent with proper cooking. Nutritionally, it’s a powerhouse: high in lean protein and iron, low in fat, saturated fat, and calories, and rich in B vitamins, potassium, and other essential minerals. It’s also naturally cholesterol-free. Hence, it is good for our bodies.
Ingredients needed:
4 lbs. bone-in goat meat (ribs, shoulder, or leg cuts work well). For faster cooking, cut larger pieces into 3-4 inch chunks.
1 large, roughly chopped Garlic head
Ginger
2 tablespoons of salt
1 tablespoon black pepper
2 tablespoons of paprika
1 tablespoon ground cumin
2 sprigs fresh rosemary
1/2 tablespoons cooking oil
1/4 cup of water
Preparation method:
Rinse the goat meat thoroughly under cold water and pat it completely dry with paper towels; this helps the marinade adhere and promotes browning.
For larger cuts, make several deep scores 2 inches deep across the meat with a sharp knife to allow the marinade to penetrate deeply and help the meat cook more evenly.
Into a blender, combine the chopped onion, garlic, ginger, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, paprika, cumin, rosemary, chili powder, and cooking oil. Add a 1/4 cup of water to the mixture to help blend into a coarse paste.
Marinate the goat meat and cover it with aluminum foil, then place it in the oven and slow-roast the meat at 392°F for 2.5 hours until tender.
Egg Mixture
Ingredients needed:
3 eggs
Black pepper
1 tablespoon butter
Salt
Preparation method:
To prepare a fried egg:
Heat butter or oil in a non-stick pan over medium-low heat.
Crack an egg into the pan.
Cook for 2-3 minutes for sunny-side up (whites set, yolk runny), or flip for over-easy, medium, or hard, cooking for 30 seconds to 3 minutes on the second side depending on desired yolk doneness.
Season with salt and pepper.
Assemble the Rolex.
Place the 3 chapatis on 3 different plates.
Layer the cooked fried egg mixture on top of each chapati.
Add the cooked mbuzi.
Drizzle your desired sauce, sweet chili sauce, over the meat.
Add some cheddar cheese and cilantro.
Roll up the chapatis like a wrap.
Slice in half (optional) and serve.
You can eat it like a snack or serve it with other dishes like fries, and a glass of matcha won’t hurt.
