Instructions
Goulash:
- Heat a large pot and fry the sliced chorizo until just golden. Remove and set aside.
- In the same pot, cook onions, garlic paste, and chili until soft and fragrant.
- Add potatoes, stirring for 3 minutes. If they start sticking, splash in a bit of stock.
- Take the pot off the heat. Stir in paprika, smoked paprika, marjoram, and chili flakes. Add tomato paste if using.
- Return to the stove, pour in stock; add more if needed, and simmer gently 15–20 minutes until potatoes are fork-tender.
- Add chorizo back after 10 minutes. Adjust salt and pepper.
- Finish with coriander. Serve with roti, rice, or warm bread.
Roti:
- Mix flour, oil, butter, salt, and boiling water.
- Knead for 5 minutes until soft.
- Cover and let rest 15 minutes.
- Roll out into one big roti, dust lightly with flour, roll into a Swiss roll, and cut into 8 equal pieces.
- Form into balls, roll out thin, and cook in a hot, dry pan, flipping until spotted and cooked through.
