Chicken and Potato Roti

Start cooking opens one step at a time with read-aloud and hands-free voice control — “next”, “repeat”, “how much salt”, “timer 10 minutes”.

1. 1Add a pint of chicken stock to the simmer and put three tablespoons of sugar into a large saucepan on high; cook until the sugar caramelizes, then add the cubed chicken breasts and stir until the chicken browns.
2. 2Add chopped onions, garlic, parsley, thyme, jerk seasoning, salt, and the whole scotch bonnet pepper – do not cut up the pepper! Turn the heat down to low and let this leave to simmer for 25 minutes.
3. 3In a large bowl, sift the flour, and add a pinch of salt to taste.
4. 4Now add the first tablespoon of shortening, and with your fingers, rub the flour into the shortening until it forms a breadcrumb-like consistency.
5. 5Next, add the second tablespoon of shortening and rub against the flour until it looks like breadcrumbs.
6. 6Now add the third tablespoon of shortening and repeat the process.
7. 7You should by now have used all the flour. Your bowl should be all breadcrumb-like; if you still have fresh flour, use another tablespoon of shortening until your fresh flour is all used up.
8. 8Add a small amount of water and mix with a butter knife; keep adding small amounts until your mixture forms a soft dough.
9. 9Now dust your surface with flour and roll out your pastry; you want to roll wafer-thin rounds – this mixture should make at least 12 roti skins.
10. 10Cover with a tea towel while returning to the pot.
11. 11Now peel the potatoes and cube them into small bite-size pieces.
12. 12After 25 minutes of simmering, add 1/2 pint of water and the potatoes to the pool.
13. 13Now cover and let it cook for 30 minutes on low heat.
14. 14Turn a flat baking tray upside down, lightly cover with foil, and lay the on the stovetop on high; cook each roti skin for 1 minute on each side until brown but not crisp.
15. 15Now pile up your cooked roti skins, remove the pot after 30 minutes, and remove the whole scotch bonnet.
16. 16Take the entire pot to the table with a pile of plates; each person assumes the roti skin, lays it flat on the scale, spoons some filling into the middle of the roti skin, and folds around the filling eats enjoy.
