Recently I made a tomato based curry, and I thought that a curried roll would be a great way to accompany the stew. I came up with this recipe for a warm, curried biscuit with yogurt. They are a bright yellow color from the turmeric in the dough. Flavors of cardamom, cinnamon, and caraway are all present along with the rich and tangy flavor of yogurt. The house smelled amazing from the spices’ aroma. The crust was just crunchy enough to get a nice contrast against the soft, warm inside part of the roll. They were perfect as an appetizer with butter, or for scooping up that list bit of curry in the bowl. I will be making these again the next time I make a curry dish!
