Ingredients:
4 cup flour
2 tbsp baking powder
1 pinch salt
2 tsp oil
1 1/2 cup ; water, lukewarm
2 1/2 lb chicken, skinned, boned & cut into
1 tsp garlic, chopped
1 scallion, finely chopped
1/2 tsp scotch bonnet pepper, finely chopped
1 tsp salt
3 tbsp curry powder
1 tbsp jira, ground
1/2 tbsp pepper, black
2 tbsp oil, for each poori
1 scallions, garnish
1 scotch bonnet pepper, finely chopped (garnish)
1/2 cup ; water, or more
Instructions:
To prepare the pooris, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt in a
mixing bowl. Pour the oil into the water, then add this mixture to
the flour mixture to form a dough. Mix well. Knead for about 5
minutes until dough is very smooth. Divide into 6 balls of dough.
Set aside for about 2 hours, covered with a damp cloth. Using a
rolling pin, roll each ball into a thin flattened circle, a poori,
about 9 inches in diameter. Set aside, covered.
To prepare the filling, combine the chicken and all the other
ingredi- ents except the oil and the garnish. Mix well and marinate
for 2 hours or longer. When done marinating, add 2 tablespoons oil to
a saucepan and heat to medium. Add the chicken mixture and cook,
stirring con- stantly for about 5 minutes. Add the water then cook on
low for about 5 minutes, or until chicken is tender. Keep warm.
Add 2 tablespoons of oil to a skillet or grill. Place the rolled
pooris on the skillet. Fry each side for about 2 minutes, or until
lightly browned. Brush each side with margarine or oil. Wrap in clean
towel to keep warm until ready to serve.
When ready to serve, fold about 2 tablespoons of chicken mixture into
each round and serve. Garnish with scallions and Scotch Bonnet
pepper.

Chicken is ideal
for weight loss
and dieting
Healthy eating is far better than strict dieting, and weight loss achieved by a change of lifestyle lasts far longer than 'faddy' diets that are difficult to adopt for long periods.
Cooking more low fat chicken can enable you to lose weight gradually as part of a a controlled and healthy diet.
