A perfect roti requires years of practice, but you'll never get there without the right pan
My grandmother left Guyana for New York in 1981 in search of better economic opportunities and safety. Political strife and racial tensions made it untenable for her to stay in her home country, but she didn’t leave behind her whole life. For years she worked as an international trader, moving fabric and consumer goods between the U.S. and Caribbean. And she continued to cook Guyanese food for herself , including roti.
Cultures across Asia, the Middle East, and West Indies have used similar griddles by various names and made from various metals . In India, roti is made with atta, milled whole wheat flour, and doesn’t contain any leavening agent, but in Guyana workers used their tawa to create a unique variation using the ingredients they received as rations from the British.
While versions in other parts of the world have a more concave shape, allowing them to act as woks for stir-fries, in the West Indies the pans are completely flat, usually about 10 to 14 inches in diameter with a single loop handle that projects evenly from the surface on one side. This layout maximizes the cooking space, offering enough room to spread a hefty roti, and makes the pan sleek and ergonomic.
