How to make Dhalpuri roti from Trinidad and Tobago.

[@zaustinm]

Thank you for showing this American girl how to make dhalpuri roti. My guyanese husband will be thrilled. His mother no longer makes them and his sisters did not learn how to make them. I am a very good baker and I know with what you have provided, I will make my husband proud. Thank you so much!!!

[@ryanthebodygunz]

Man i have to say your the best. Nobody goes into the detail that you do. You literally give every single ingredient, exactly how much and exactly how to mix it, spread it, bake it, fry it, etc.. Nobody better

[@isabellageorge9155]

There are no better Dhalpuri Roti like the ones in Trinidad. love and miss them.

[@Rogerswyndwalker]

Thank you for the lesson. I was married to a Trinidadian 30 years ago and he would never tell me how to make Dhalpuri roti. I've had to order it at caribean resturants. Now you've given what I need to make my own. Again, Thank you soooo much. Lady WyndWalker

[@snooks210]

Thank u so much... my father is from Georgetown, Guyana. My grandmother used to make these for me... After she died, I lived in Canada my whole life, it was difficult to find places that make this type of roti. My mom is French so she does not know how. I will try to make this at home and let my son grow to love caribbean food as I do. He is only 22 months and already loves my curry. People in Nova Scotia, where I live now, have not even heard of it

[@LLTization]

Beautiful!!! This is such a break for my Trinidadian Sis-in-law...now I can stop needling her about her recipes. Love your style and your passing on the goodness to the rest of the Diaspora.

[@carolchanel973]

Was born in Suriname and have had a proper roti less than 5 times for the last 15 years.... So happy to have found your recipe and it's so detailed. Thank you!!!

[@gervilleharlequin994]

I was born in Suriname also. Hard to find good Roti in the states.

[@3Nappynicki]

Watching this video reminds me of Saturdays growing up watching my mom make roti and I remember her doing all those steps. Thanks for sharing.

[@andredeyoung5886]

the reason I subscribe is because I just love the way he demonstrates everything, so clear.

[@kimmieshimmie76]

I miss my childhood mainly because of my mom and dads carribean cooking. My dad is from Trinidad and my mom is from St. Kitts. So glad you have this channel so I can cook for my family. I love Roti, especially with curry goat !

[@1960Islandboy]

Great job Chris , this brings back some great memories of Trinidad and Tobago as I moved away in 1979 ....

[@desiretakei5355]

Oh my goodness. I just made this for the first time ever and I am so impressed!

[@Roneka482]

I'm so glad u posted this video .....I'm Guyanese & I always wanted to make puri but i never knew the method ...Thank u so much

[@kirkearlenedavis1802]

Thanks Chris for sharing. Today I tried this and the buss up shut recipe and they both came out fine. Midway through grinding the peas, my magic bullet stopped working. I used the rolling pin to roll the rest of the peas and they came out close enough to what was expected. Gave me a little more exercise. May God continue to bless you so you can continue to share with others, and keep our Trini cuisine going.

[@christopherr.5341]

So happy to find this recipe. Been a fan of Dhalpuri rotis for 20 years and never knew how to make them. In my ignorance, I had no idea if the interior was split-pea, chick-pea, or some kind of corn flour. Can't wait to make it at home. Many thanks.

[@charlottejohnson2900]

I love all your authentic Trini dishes. thanks for helping me bring out my Trini side when I'm not with my grandparents 😁

[@roshnimartin4452]

Hi Chris, I will like to see the actual process of kneading the flour for the dhal puri roti. Thanks for all that you do to make cooking easy & enjoyable to try new things.

[@ahamatmabrahman]

Perfect, now I'm hungry, oh boy I can smell that roti all the way from the UK Thanks for posting

[@illanamckenzie1663]

my fam is trini nd i love this food....THANK YOU!!

[@margueritastuart916]

Just saw this recipe today and will be trying my hands on this recipe for lunch. We use to buy these while living in Canada. t would be a nice surprise for my husband with some now living back in Barbados . Wish me luck.

[@Highhonbeautyy]

My Family Is From Jamaica, & my mom makes the best roti bread! But For her birthday I wanna maker curry goat, rice & peas cabbage and roti. And then give her the tickets that were gonna go to Jamaica and see her parents. Sooooo Excited! Thanks for the recipe!

[@monana_su]

hey, I know this food mill. We used it for meat, as well as doughs and veggies in Poland, but it's been also popular in Germany back in the days (way before people got that lazy, lol). How lovely to find something common in these food cultures - never thought of that :-) btw we also fill up sort of "pancakes" with veggies, mushrooms and cheese; it's almost close to roti, so this caribbean meals always give me a hint of exotic but also homelike feelings. much love

[@pamemarald3601]

i'm indian and i loved ur recipe and presentation, thank u, will try it for sure. enjoyed seeing the indian recipe in the other part of world....

[@mlwmamaisa]

THANK you CHRIS for this wonderful recipe

[@LocsMermaidia]

Your mom is awesome. What skill.

[@poolidoor]

best roti i ever had was done in st lucia by a sister of my sister in law, i just love roti, wish i could do the same pancake, the filling should not be too hard to do . my favorite cuisine is more asiatic, but i love carabeeine ( west indies) cuisine, african and indian and north african also, when french friend tell me that french cuisine is the best in the world i smile cause i know they are just ignorant, but i don t reply cause i don t care cuisine is about tasting not talking so whiel they talk i just eat and my mom told me not to talk with full mouth (my mom was exellent cook, she could do dish from all around the world)

[@nwahsookoos]

[@christopherboodram9386]

when i was growing up as a child my mom used to patch the dhal after grinding it withh the geera and the garlic and pepper. anyways thanks for the video, i finally learned how to fill it, lol.

[@alvarezah]

st.lucian living in canada thank you for the taste of home

[@tamarad.8709]

I love roti, but now I go to school in an area with a very small caribbean population so I can never find anywhere that makes them. I'm definitely going to try this recipe out!

[@Apollo440]

These look fantastic. The priceless recipes are not those made of lobster and caviar, but those made with flour, water and split peas. Thank you for sharing.

[@virginiavivas6054]

I never thought it could be so easy. Will try it soon! Thank you

[@nightnurse604]

wow I absolutely love Roti ....I make my own curried chicken which I have perfected ....but as yet have to learn to make my own rotis ....cant wait to try this ...thanks so much!

[@sistahduch]

Used this and made really tasty roti. My first time ever! Thank you!

[@thomasdestry5188]

[@lmtallison]

[@avyas5462]

[@felicityandrew192]

Hi Chris I am Form Brasil I love your vídeo thank you so much

[@rhondahabersham4817]

Great video - you make it look so easy! My roti has come out like a weapon in the past so now I will have to make it. Thanks so much.

[@elsareid8429]

thanks for your recipes and the details easy to follow

[@carmenlucien3641]

Thanks a lot. I followed your directions and it worked very well for the first time for me. I am very happy. By the way, I frozed the peas before blending them in the food procesor because it is not too strong and de resultant "powder" was very fine. :)

[@pitdog62]

Roti brings back such good memories for me. You’re an awesome Chef Chris!!!!

[@rockattack]

Thanks so much for this awesome step-by-step set of instructions. It's just as how the roti is done in Suriname- and I was craving badly for some Surinamese roti!

[@caribbeanpot]

@shuam01 For the filling 1 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon turmeric 2 cloves garlic 1 teaspoon ground roasted geera (cumin) 2 cups split peas (dhal) 1/4 of a scotch bonnet pepper (or any hot pepper you like) For the dough (actual roti) 3 cups all purpose flour pinch fast acting yeast 1/4 teaspoon salt 2 tablespoon baking powder water (see note below) * 5 tablespoon vegetable oil (for brushing the roti while it cooks)

[@nnekamyrie7337]

caribbeanpot can I use a blender instead of a food processor?

[@Crabtree1844]

Looks good and yummy! Clean too. Thanks for sharing.

[@jennifermburke]

My first time and it was so easy to make!!! Loved by everyone!!!

[@prishasalabeea30]

I love it.. even in Mauritius island we make dhalpuri

[@shirellwilliams8835]

i've been trying to figure out how to make roti bread for long time. thank you. surprisingly I made it right on the first try.

[@starchild582]

I LOVE HOW YOU STUFF THESE! Amazingly fun! Great instruction. Thanks!

[@LLTization]

I have eaten much roti around Brooklyn; regular and the dahl...never knew I was missing the real thing-the store bought one was always crunchy and sparsely filled. I took a Caribbean cooking course years ago so learned the plain roti but this filled to the brim roti is superb. This is the real deal right here. Your Curry chicken, a nice green salad and this makes a super meal.

[@shirinjoorawon8989]

These are eaten here in Mauritius too, Infact its sold on every corner here. I put salt, turmeric, a pinch of baking SODAand a 1\2 tsp of ginger garlis paste in the water to boil the split peas and when the dholl is strained the water is kept and used to knead the dough. Try it !!! caribbeanpot !

[@argentum3919]

How does it help to use the water from the peas?

[@shirinjoorawon8989]

Warm water makes it easy to knead the flour and the Dhalpuri dough gets a good olour and taste. Nothing is wasted.

[@argentum3919]

Shirin Joorawon OK, thank you.

[@amadmalik720]

Shirin Joorawon y

[@cn2642]

I never thought of using the water from the peas to knead the dough. Nice tip!

[@chelleytekilla]

this is great! I've always wanted to make dhalpuri because I love it so, this is very helpful because usually when my family makes it they don't measure because they know it so well. I tried this and my roti came out terrible haha. It was a combination of the dough consistency being off, stuffing too much dhal and not rolling the roti thin enough. Still an excellent recipe, better luck next time!

[@BREADWINNING]

YOU ARE THE MAN! I DIDNT KNOW HOW FAST TO SUBSCRIBE AFTER WATCHING THIS VIDEO. THANKS A LOT

[@outragedlyrics]

it's amazing how india has a major influence on guyanese and trini cuisine ... indo-caribbean food rocks!!

[@locoBRit168]

That roti is gorgeous!

[@isabellageorge9155]

This is the good stuff, thank you for sharing, the kids of today's world needs to know and learn of these things. hahahaha now my mouth is watering.

[@NoOrdinaryGirl28]

Amazing videos and presentations. I came across you're videos while searching for caribbean recipes and I am hooked. Thank you sooo much for the time and efforts you put into all this. Right now I am excited to try out everything you show here. Please do not feel discouraged by comments and keep posting recipes ;)

[@daniellehutchinson631]

Thank you very much, it is a great recipe, we love this in Mauritius also.

[@FriendLovetoCook]

Great job showing the recipe step by step.

[@Anzeerah]

We have dhal puri roti in Mauritius and it is street food eatwn by rich or poor and most of our compatriots ovrseas crave for it .ours is way smaller and sold by pairs.the street vendors sell it with veggetable pickle ,tomato sauce also know as rougaille and with coriander and tomato chutney . Its the most popular snack.

[@PooranKanta]

+Anzeerah Toorab Yes , all of us who's ancestors, are from UP, and Bihar make Dhall Puri. many were taken to Mauritius, fiji, Trinidad, Guyana, ect bt the British Raj. there may be many more things we eat and do that are the same.

[@allisonbaptiste5104]

looks wonderful will try this very soon

[@vero6728]

I tried these Dhalpuries on the Week-End and they were delicious. My family loved them. I made your Chcken Curry Stew to accompany this dish and Yummy. I'm from Mauritius and Dhalpuri is well known in my country too. Now I know how to make them. Next time I'll try Shirin's suggestion. Thanks for this great detailed recipe and continue your great work!

[@frstldy89]

Best recipe I've seen yet. I will be making this for a party. Thanks alot

[@woozrahbegumnuseebkootball2565]

I am happy to all those who have found this post useful.

[@mimigovender8584]

This is so interesting, I'm from South Africa and we also make dhall puri😋

[@bellegazelle2906]

You Rock man!!! Thank you so much for putting this and all T&T/Carib recipes, so good!

[@ramdharrychandra4557]

great cooking , we make the same here in mauritius , it is also the most popular street food available . Only difference , we add a teaspoon of powdered turmeric to the dal while boiling , and we use the dal water after straining to make the dough. On cooking the dhall pooris will be of an appetising golden colour. Good cooking ahead. It's possible that our great grandparents originate from the same state in India. Chandra

[@jennenecampbell]

Using the water from the dhal to knead the flour is a great idea. Thank you 😊

[@asmi227]

Trius it becomes softer and it's tasty.

[@kieriana12]

i love love love this one

Very good tutorial ! I will give it a try, I love Roti too much. i have to learn how to make it.

[@1too3fore]

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! This was one of the highlights of dating someone from Guyana, loved that roti!

[@jimmyjagroo6776]

chris you the best.Trini living abroad.Love watching your videos but don't have the time to cook.

[@TheMamanita]

Thanks for this demo.I am a trini living in B'dos and i long for a good dhalphuri roti. I know how to make paratha but going to try this for my bajan husband soon....my daughter who lives in J'ca says she uses dasheen bush bhaji together with the channa.

[@fionachick521]

You seem to make dhalpuri with as much skill and proficiency as my mum - and that is a real compliment! Well done, they look yummy. I'm making some this afternoon to go with pumpkin and a quick vegetable curry I knocked together.

[@crystaline34]

Thank you for this. I have a cookbook and I've tried making them, they turned out OK, but your method looks much easier. That recipe recommends soaking the split peas overnight or for a couple of hours before cooking which is a good tip I think. I'm definately going to have a go at this - just found your channel by the way and love it!

[@seantaylor5994]

Hey Chris, glad to have found this on youtube..I'm from Barbados and I've enjoyed watching how you create your recipes and have made some as well..just modifying it here and there, but the end result was still wonderfully delicious.

[@ilikethewok]

Looks very appetizing!! Thx so much for this video.

[@elishazolkos6900]

Thank You Man!!!!!!!! I was looking for this recipie for years :D BlessYa!!!

[@deedeerichardson4341]
