About the dish

In Trinidad, everybody eats roti – they make it in the morning and in the afternoon - that is how popular this flatbread is on the island. Although roti didn't start in Trinidad, the inhabitants made their own style over the years. Dhalpuri roti is essentially a tawa -cooked roti filled with ground split peas. Once prepared, the filled dhalpuri roti is usually consumed as a sandwich, when it is wrapped around curries, beef, potatoes, chicken, or anything else you would want, depending on personal preferences.
