Method

  1. Put the self-raising flour, yogurt, 1 tbsp oil, garlic and coriander in a bowl; season. Mix until it forms a ball, then tip onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 3-4 mins until smooth. Return to the bowl, cover with a tea towel and leave for 15 mins to rest.
  2. Divide the dough into 6 equal pieces and roll out on a lightly floured surface to 15cm rounds. Heat a frying pan over a high heat, brush each flatbread with a little oil and fry for 1-2 mins each side until golden and slightly risen. Cover to keep warm and repeat with the remaining oil and flatbreads. Meanwhile, mix together the raita ingredients in a small bowl; season. Serve with the flatbreads.
