Beef-and-potato curry enclosed in roti. One World Whisk presents this filled wrap in a Saint Vincent and the Grenadines meal.

This profile selects the printed all-purpose-flour, butter and olive-oil branches.
A seasoned curry, with optional hot sauce. The filling uses an onion, garlic, seeded Scotch bonnet, lemon and thyme marinade, plus listed ground turmeric, coriander, allspice, ginger and cayenne. Caribbean curry powder is an alternative to those ground spices. The source suggests hot sauce to enhance flavour but gives no precise description of the finished curry’s taste or chilli intensity.
Thick gravy inside a cooked flatbread. Cooked potatoes can be partly mashed into the gravy to thicken it before wrapping. The hand-rolled breads bubble on the griddle and enclose the beef and potato like a burrito. The dough is described as soft and smooth before cooking; finished bread chew, flakiness and beef tenderness are not specified.
