Trinidad Sada Roti

---

Sada roti is one of the most prominently featured in the diets of people in Trinidad and Tobago. This west Indian style roti is primarily made from flour, baking powder,  water and cooked on a tawah. A tawah(tawah) is a round cast iron cooking utensil people use in Trinidad to cook roti, if you do not have one at home as every trini. You can use a griddle or a pan that is wide enough to cook it. It still comes out great , I however do own one which I bought on one of my trips there in the past. Sada roti can be eaten with just about any curry, veggies, Fried ocra and the list goes on lot of people have this roti for breakfast on the island but some people have it for lunch and also dinner you can make it to have at anytime.
