Did You Know?

Although roti is East Indian in origin, it was brought to the Caribbean islands by Asian contract labourers as early as 1840 and has since been localised as a Caribbean dish. It is very popular in Trinidad, where just under half of the population consider themselves to be of East Indian background.
