About Chicken Roti
Ria’s Trinidad chicken roti wraps curry chicken in dhalpuri, a soft flatbread filled with seasoned yellow split peas. She describes this as the roti she grew up with in Trinidad and continues to prepare for her family.
Fresh green seasoning brings garlic, culantro, thyme, parsley and peppers to the chicken. Curry powder and turmeric flavour the sauce, while roasted cumin seasons the split-pea filling.
The bread folds around the chicken to form a rectangular parcel. Curry aloo can join the filling, and pepper sauce is an optional condiment.
