Esther & Omega Cooking Session – Chicken Roti
The Caribbean is a melting point of some many ethic groups and cultures from all over the world. The good thing is that we have a wealth of knowledge which is spread through out. This dish actually came to the Caribbean by the Indian ethic group; Those from trinidad & tobago. Thank you so much guys! This is a popular dish in Grenada and Trinidad. You have go anywhere and get a roti.
The good thing is that roti can be made with any meat: chicken, beef, mutton etc. Vegetarians don’t feel bad or left out. Roti’s can be made with only vegetables.
I hope you guest try this one day!!
