Instructions
1
Start by making the roti. Sift 150g flour and the salt into a bowl and add the vegetable oil with 100ml water or just enough to make a sticky dough. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth. Cover and leave to rest for 30–40 minutes.
2
Meanwhile, marinate the beef by simply putting it into a bowl and adding the tamarind paste, crushed garlic, ground coriander, soy sauce and lime zest. Mix well and leave to marinate for 30 minutes.
3
Divide the dough into four and, using a rolling pin, roll each piece into a thin circle about 2mm thick on a floured surface. Set aside while you make the cucumber salad.
4
To make the cucumber salad, put the cucumber, red chilli, fresh coriander, spring onion and lime juice into a bowl and lightly toss together.
5
Mist a large frying pan with cooking spray and once hot, fry a roti until it puffs up and is speckled brown on the underside. Turn it over and fry for a few minutes. Remove from the pan, allowing the roti to cool for a few seconds, and wrap in a clean tea towel placed in a colander until ready to eat. Cook the other roti.
6
Heat a griddle pan over a high heat. Thread the beef onto skewers and cook on all sides for 2–3 minutes or until lightly charred.
