Coronation turkey with homemade chapatis

½ tbsp vegetable oil
½ onion
chopped
1 garlic clove
chopped
1 tbsp curry powder
½ tsp each ground cumin
ground coriander and turmeric
125ml coconut milk
125ml chicken stock
200g mayonnaise
425g leftover turkey
2 tbsp desiccated coconut
toasted
handful chopped coriander
to serve
chopped tomato
sliced onion and lettuce leaves, to serve

For the chapattis

350g wholemeal flour
(or roti flour), plus extra for dusting
1 tbsp vegetable oil

Method

step 1
Heat a saucepan and add a little vegetable oil. Fry the onion and garlic until both are lightly browned. Chuck in all the spices and let them sizzle for 1 min, then add the coconut milk and the stock. Allow this to reduce until you have a thick, rich, creamy, spicy onion mixture in the pan. Pour into a bowl, leave to cool, then stir through the mayonnaise. Can be kept in the fridge for up to a week.
step 2
To make the chapatis, put the flour and 1 tsp salt into a large bowl. Pour in the oil and rub into the flour with your fingertips. Pour in 250ml lukewarm water, mix to form a firm dough, then knead for about 10 mins until springy. Place back in the bowl and leave to rest for 30 mins. Cut into 8 walnut-size pieces and roll out into thin discs on a lightly floured surface. Pan-fry the discs in a dry heavy-based pan for about 1 min on each side. They should colour and blister – use a clean cloth to press flat in the pan while cooking.
step 3
To serve, mix the curried mayonnaise with the turkey. Toast the desiccated coconut in a dry pan until golden. Sprinkle over the turkey along with some coriander, then serve alongside the chapatis with some tomato, sliced onion and lettuce, if you like.
