Not tried and true, but Emeril has a very highly rated roti recipe that a ton of reviewers from the West Indies have said is really good: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/emer ... index.html

Read the reviews to get some tips. Many island rotis also contain potato and/or chickpeas, so you may want to add that. Don't forget the mango chutney to make it taste even better. You can purchase at Whole Foods in the British or Indian Food section.

The Caribbean Choice recipe already linked here is my go-to chicken roti recipe. I make my own roti bread instead of using "flour" tortillas though :lol:

Here's a pic:

Off to eat some roti for breakfast! :D
It's like looking in your soup and finding a whole different alphabet.

Of course you did Liam's Aunt! So what is the recipe for that, and where do you get Bilind Betty?
