Pleasurably eating leftover roti

Roti with the usual – Choka(s) and Chutneys (Photo by Cynthia Nelson)

Curry of any kind, dhal, fried (sauteed) vegetables, and choka(s) are the many things we eat with roti. What other weird or deliciously wonderful things you have eaten with roti? For the purpose of this column, I am referring to Guyanese paratha/oil/plain roti. The amazingly leafy, soft roti that falls into a fluffy pile when clapped hot off the tawah. That roti.

During the week in a Facebook group chat, one of the members asked: “Shall we count the ways we abuse roti? For me, with cheese and scrambled eggs.” Abuse? Not at all. It is more like the many way of eating and enjoying roti! From there, all were encouraged to share things we eat with roti.
