Curry Chicken Roti

Trinidadian curry chicken roti combines seasoned chicken curry with roti, either wrapped together or served separately. Ria’s preparation marinates chicken with green seasoning, onion, salt and pepper. Onion is browned in oil before curry powder, turmeric, a little green seasoning and water are cooked together. The chicken is added and cooked until tender with a thickened sauce, then finished with culantro.[1]

Her wrapped version uses dhalpuri, a roti containing seasoned ground split peas. Curry chicken and optional fillings such as curried potato, chickpeas or pumpkin are placed in the centre before the bread folds around them. Paratha is another accompaniment, and the components can also be served separately on a plate.[1]
