Instructions
- Step 1: In a large bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 2 tsp instant yeast, 2 tsp curry powder, 1 tsp salt, and 1 tsp sugar. Add 1 cup warm water (110°F), 1/2 cup plain yogurt, and 2 tbsp olive oil. Stir until a shaggy dough forms.
- Step 2: Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place in an oiled bowl, cover with a damp towel, and let rise in a warm spot for 1 hour until doubled.
- Step 3: Meanwhile, combine 1/4 cup white vinegar, 1/4 cup water, 1 tbsp sugar, and 1/2 tsp salt in a jar. Add 1 medium julienned carrot and 1 small thinly sliced cucumber. Let sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes to quick-pickle.
- Step 4: In a small bowl, mix 1/2 cup plain yogurt, 2 tbsp chopped fresh mint, 2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro, and 1 minced garlic clove. Season with salt to taste and refrigerate.
- Step 5: Punch down the dough and divide into 6 equal balls. Roll each ball into a 7-inch circle on a floured surface.
- Step 6: Heat a dry skillet over medium-high heat. Cook each flatbread for 1-2 minutes on each side until puffed and golden spots appear.
- Step 7: Serve flatbreads topped with pickled vegetables and a dollop of herb yogurt sauce for a bright, flavorful meal.
