Not Trini but a NYer who LOVES Trini food and moved out of NY. I’m so grateful for this recipe. Now if only I had a good curried potatoes recipe.

Honestly somethings in the caribbean air. I’ve been seeing rotis everywhere lately I’ve been making them almost every week now😅… love the video gonna try the recipe

[@pbgadams]

Hi, I'm a Trini and I never attempted to make Buss up. You did a fantastic job and it looks delish. We named it "Buss up shut," cause it looks like a Buss up/ tear up shirt. Congratulations on a job well done. 👏 👏 👏

A long time ago I wrote down this recipe while a friend demonstrated. Your demonstration has refreshed my memory and is so clear. It makes my notes more understandable after so many years . Thanks for sharing.

[@joanisehughes8843]

Wow! I have come on youtube and learnt how to make Guyenese Roti, Step by step and it came out nice and fluffy and Clap Clap flaky. And this is my first time trying trinidad Roti step by step recipe, and the dough has a nice elastic strength consistancy to it. Different from the Guyanese, although guyanese Roti is a good recipe and it taste Delicious. Because It does come out fluffy and clap clap flaky, the dough when rolling it out doesn't have the stretchy elasticity that this one does though both these Roti recipes are prepared the same. I guess it's because Trinidad uses alittle more water to the stickiness, and possible oil? Another thing I've acknowledge from Roti Recipes is that the women, do it best they definitely know what Dem Do because their Roti comes out the Best!! I think I'm hooked on the Roti Recipe, the way the women know how to make Dem. They are my new discovery of a new Homemade Tortilla flat bread. Yum!!🤩🤩🤩😋😋😋🤣😂
