Combine the ingredients, mix well, and add enough warm water to make
a soft dough. Knead it until it forms a ball and does not stick to
the sides of the bowl. Shape it into balls about 2 inches in
diameter. Then flatten each ball on a greased plate or cutting

Filling: In a bowl, combine the green onions or leeks, red chilies,
cabbage, kale, and curry leaves. Add salt and pepper to taste. Heat
the oil in a skillet, and saute the vegetables and spices until
golden. Place about 2 tablespoons of the filling on each rotti, fold
the rotti in half, and pinch the edges together to form a packet
enclosing the vegetables. Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet, and
fry each rotti until the filling is warmed through.
*Curry leaves - edible gray-green leaves that resemble bay leaf, used
in flavoring sambols and fish, vegetable, or meat curries. The Sri
Lankans use curry leaves fresh, but they can be used dried if fresh
leaves are not available. The Sinhalese term for the plant is
'karapincha', and if you can find them fresh, they add great depth
and flavor to a dish. They are not removed before serving, and they
are edible. There is no substitute for curry leaves.
