Gluten Free bread rolls stuffed with tandoori chicken
This is my own recipe. It takes 40 minutes to prepare and 45 minutes to cook. The ingredients I used are as follows.
Gluten free bread roll
Ingredients:
100ml milk
7g yeast
500g gluten free plain flour
4 tbsp tapioca starch (potato starch can also be used as an alternative)
75ml hot water
1 tsp salt
30g butter
1 tbsp yogurt
1 egg (to be used later)
Making the dough:
Add the milk to a bowl followed by the yeast. Whisk it well.
Add the plain flour and tapioca starch. Gently mix and then add the hot water gradually while mixing with a spoon. At this point the dough will start to become sticky. Adjust with more flour or water as needed.
Add the salt, butter and yogurt to the bowl and mix until a smooth and elastic texture is obtained.
Cover with a tea towel and let it rest for 30 minutes (this will ensure it doubles in size).
Tandoori chicken
Ingredients for the marinade:
400g chicken breast fillet, cut into cubes
3 tbsp yogurt
2 tsp ginger paste
2 garlic cloves
2 tsp ground cumin
2 tsp turmeric
2 tsp cumin seeds
2 tsp garam masala
1 tsp red chilli powder
Mix all of the above ingredients in a bowl and set aside for 30 minutes.
Method:
After having marinated the chicken, add 1 tbsp olive oil to a pan on medium heat.
Toss the chicken in and let it cook until tender. Season with salt to taste.
Once cooked, transfer a portion into a plate and shred the chicken into pieces.
At this point, the dough would have risen. Work it into a ball and then cut into 8 equal parts.
Dust a little bit of flour in your left palm and work the cut part into a ball. Then gently flatten it using your right hand and cup your left palm so that the flattened dough sits in it.
Scoop a bit of the tandoori chicken and add to the cupped part.
Gently fold the dough and dust with some flour to prevent sticking.
Place the roll onto a tray lined with baking paper.
Repeat the above steps for the remaining parts.
Egg wash the roll for shiny texture.
Place the tray in a preheated oven to cook for 20 minutes at 200 degrees Celsius.
Egg wash a second time and let it cook in the oven for another 10 minutes.
Garnish with garlic butter before serving. Enjoy!
