Roti has a long tradition in Indian culture, but you’ll also find this staple in the southern Caribbean countries as well. It’s a bread, typically flat and round, that’s been cooked on a griddle. Depending on the country of origin, you’ll find slight variations in taste, but ultimately it’s the same delicious thing. It’s sometimes served as a side and sometimes used to sandwich some delicious curries.
