When I was a kid, all the way up until I moved out of my parents’ home, I can remember eating roti shakk every night for dinner. This was the definition of home cooking to me. We would eat roti, a bread-like accompaniment, with a different vegetable, shakk, 5-6 nights a week. This low cost and sometimes healthy meal, I would say, defined my childhood. My mom would often have me prep the dough for the roti and cut the vegetables for the shakk when I got home from school. Sometimes she would let me help her roll out the roti’s. Mine sure were ugly! As a child I did not appreciate this meal, and as an adult I often find myself craving it. The warm, tortilla like bread, spread with clarified butter on the top makes my mouth water just thinking about it! Roti is very quick and easy to make! It is a great, sturdy partner that holds up to shakk and curries alike.
