• 1 (13.66 oz) can coconut milk
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro

Steps

1. Prepare chicken. Chop garlic finely. Combine yogurt, garlic, curry powder, turmeric, and cumin in large bowl or dish; whisk to blend. Season chicken with salt; add to yogurt mixture and turn to coat well (wash hands). Cover and chill 4 hours (or overnight).
2. Prepare stew. Chop onions finely (about 2 cups). Chop garlic and habaneros finely (about 1 tablespoon each). Peel potatoes and taro roots and cut into 1-inch cubes (2 cups each). Remove chicken from yogurt mixture; scrape most of yogurt mixture off, then cut chicken into bite-size pieces (wash hands).
3. Preheat large Dutch oven on medium-high 2–3 minutes. Add oil and onions; cook 3–4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender. Stir in garlic, habaneros, curry powder, cumin, turmeric, and salt; cook 1–2 minutes, stirring continuously, until thick paste forms. Add chicken; cook 4–5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned. Stir in stock, coconut milk, potatoes, and taro. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low.
4. Simmer 60–90 minutes, stirring occasionally, until potatoes and taro are fork-tender and chicken is 165°F (mixture will thicken as it sits). Prepare roti wraps during last 45 minutes of cook time. Chop cilantro; stir into curry when ready to serve.
5. Prepare roti wraps. Combine flour, salt, yeast, and baking powder in large bowl. Knead in water ¼ cup at a time until dough forms, adding more water as needed. Cover and let rest 30 minutes in warm place.
6. Dust work surface with flour. Place dough on work surface, knead 1 minute, and divide into 6 even balls. Flatten balls into discs, then roll out to 10-inch wide, 1/4-inch-thick circles (add more flour if needed to prevent sticking).
7. Preheat large, nonstick sauté pan on medium-high 2–3 minutes. Dust any remaining flour off wraps. Place 1 tablespoon oil in pan. Place 1 wrap in pan; cook 1–2 minutes on each side, until browned and bubbles begin to appear. Remove and keep warm; repeat with remaining wraps. Serve.
