Roti dishes are known for their deep flavors. The thing I love about this recipe is how the chicken and kousenband taste is so distinct, although they are cooked
\nwith the same base of onion, garlic, and tomato. I am a huge fan of spicy food,
\nso the heat that comes from the hot pepper with the chicken is very gratifying.
\nThis dish is eaten with your hands, tearing the roti pancake into small pieces and
\npicking up the chicken and vegetables. The garlic and masala encrusted egg is
\nwonderful for presentation and is a nice subtle taste paired with the chicken and
\nvegetables.

This recipe was first served to me when I moved to The Hague and joined an all
\nfemale house of 5. The meal was absolutely delicious and flavorful, and made me
\nfeel so welcomed into my new home. I didn\u2019t learn until I made it how long it
\ntook to prepare and how much patience was involved, so I felt even more
\ngrateful to my flatmates for cooking it for me.<\/p>\n
