dhal puri with curry

Guyana · Latin America

Short description: This meal pairs a stuffed roti-style flatbread with saucy curry, making the bread both a side and a scoop.
Ingredients: Wheat-flour flatbread filled with split peas, cumin, turmeric, and garlic, served with chickpeas, potatoes, shrimp, curry powder, and pepper sauce.
Cultural note: Roti-shop meals often treat the flatbread and curry as one plate: tearing, folding, and scooping are part of how it is eaten.
Common misconception: It is not a plain tortilla; the flatbread is stuffed with seasoned ground split peas before cooking.
