Guyanese roti is a type of flatbread that originates from Guyana, a country in South America with a rich Indo-Caribbean culinary tradition. It is similar to Indian-style roti but has its own unique characteristics, shaped by local flavors and cooking methods.

Serving:

Guyanese roti is typically served with flavorful curries, stews, or even fried fish. Popular pairings include:

  • Chicken curry
  • Dhal (Split peas)
  • Pumpkin & Shrimp
  • Goat curry
  • Channa (chickpea) curry
  • Potato curry or aloo curry

Its soft and pliable nature makes it perfect for scooping up sauces and wrapping around fillings. It’s a beloved staple in Guyanese households and in other Caribbean countries.

It is cooked on a specialized pan known as a tawah. A tawah (also spelled tawa) is a flat or slightly concave griddle used for cooking various flatbreads, such as roti, paratha, and naan. It is a common cooking tool in South Asian, Caribbean, and Middle Eastern cuisines.
