I have had too many late nights out in Bombay to count. We used to spend at least one week a year there at Christmas, mostly with friends from London who have roots there and a kicking social life. After a long night out we used to go to a kebab place called Bade Miyan, which roughly translates as “the elder gentleman“ or “head honcho”. To us, it meant succulent kebabs of all types, plain or in breads. This went on until my friend’s mother found out we were eating there and told us we could get kidney failure! I have no idea why… but we did stop going soon after. Those days have gone, but my love of streetfood remains.
This baida roti is fairly easy to make at home and hits the spot after a night out. A tasty, tasty meal. You can make it with minced chicken or Quorn instead, but you will need to cook the onions until golden first, then add the ginger and garlic, then the rest of the ingredients and cook until done.
