Dhalpuri Roti | Taste of Trini

In today's video, Mom is going to show you how to make Dhalpuri Roti. This is best served with any types of curried or stewed meat or vegetable dishes or it can be eaten by itself.
Here's what you'll need:
FOR THE DOUGH:
7 1/2 cups of flour (some extra for rolling out)
2 tsps of salt
1 1/2 tablespoons baking powder
1 1/2 - 2 cups of water (enough to make a soft dough)
FOR THE DHAL/SPLIT PEAS:
2 lbs of split peas
2 teaspoons of salt
2 teaspoons of turmeric powder
5-8 cloves of garlic + 1 hot pepper to grind together with the dhal/split peas
2 teaspoons of salt (to taste)
2 teaspoons roasted ground geera
Some oil for cooking it on the tawa/ griddle.
This recipe yields 14-15 Dhalpuris (dependent on the size).

[@Nick4073]

The only roti that I'm afraid to cook is Dhalpuri Roti. Never attempted to make it, because it intimidates me. Admire ppl who master it. Your Mum makes it look so easy 😀

[@TasteofTrini]

Nicole Ramcharitar Well, like my mom says, practice makes perfect. Try the recipe and you might be shocked at how easy it is. ☺☺

[@Nick4073]

Taste of Trini Will do!

Thank you for this recipe. When I was 1999 (I was 19), a friend of mine who is Trini said he wanted to take me to eat some Roti. Being French Canadian, "roti" is the word for any type of Roast meat, pot roast beef, roast pork etc., so I was sceptical: Why does he want me to try this roast?!? Back then, the most "exotic" food I had tasted was sushi or mexican food LOL I went along, and man, that decision changed my whole culinary world! I had goat roti with a sorrel drink that day and was like : Where have you been all my life? To this day it’s one of my favorite dishes. It was also my first positive introduction to curry as previously, I had never ventured out of my bland comfort zone to try any type of Indian or West Indian food. Of course the curry goodness within the roti rocked my world, but the texture of the Dhalpuri was most fascinating to me, there was a magical blend of dry vs moist and flakey. Uncomparable❤️

[@buttacudawey]

I learned from a real trini and now I'm an expert I make it like ur mom now.. .my 🇯🇲 family love island food so i try and learn how to make all of them..we love roti omg yum..💖🎉🥂🍾🇹🇹🇯🇲.great video..

I love the examples you gave. I am Trinidadian living in the US. I am having friends over for brunch on Sunday, so you made it easy for me to make my roti. Thank you. It was fun, your mom did a great job. Love to my Trini people.

[@pizee]

I have watched quite a number of videos about making this but your instructions about flattening out the dough to distribute the dal before the final cooking is what sets this one apart. Thank you. I seriously appreciate these very clear instructions!

[@justyb2209]

A 🇹🇹woman taught my 🇬🇩 mum the way to make roti. To me, this is the best & only way to make it WITH split peas and Jeera. If it doesn’t have that, I ain’t eating it.. love this video! ✊🏾

thank goodness the only person who shows the ground dhal being cooked/dried after grinding. For those too afraid to tackle the dhal you can get it already cooked and ground in the local supermarkets now, just ready for filling into your dough.

[@TasteofTrini]

Kennaice Baird Really, wow! That's amazing! Your mom sounds like a boss 😎 Thanks for watching!

[@groledo]

Hello from Mauritius! I'm baffled by how similar your dalpuri resembles ours - and how we eat it same as you too... If ever you come to Mauritius some day, you'll find it sold as a very common street food, rolled with the cari (cooked vegetables) and chilli paste, in almost every corner. So, we share many many things in common with you and Seychelles too... that's marvellous! Great work, keep it up!

[@TasteofTrini]

Hi! Sounds great. I definitely have to visit there someday. Thanks for watching!

[@AmjadAli-up2uw]

Ultimately, we all came from India, or Pakistan. Dalpuri is also the same in Canada, and the USA. We all love the common culture. Long live our Indian ancestary.

[@DWORLD-do6sy]

i can make a lot of things, but this is the most difficult thing that i have continuously failed at making. I did learn 2 critical errors i have made and 1 technique i must employ. One errors is not letting my dough sit before going on to the next step. Two is not using enough flour after the dough is made to control breakage. And the one technique that is crucial to all of this is to employ patience and walk away during each stage for success. Thank you so much
