- (garbanzos) and cook for another 5 - 10 min, till the filling is chunky and thick. Set the filling aside.
- Divide the dough into 4 to 6 equal-sized balls. Flatten each ball and roll out into thin 8-inch squares. Fill the middle of each square with about 1/2 c. of the filling. Wrap the dough around the mix, burrito style, and seal the filling inside .
- To cook the roti, heat the butter in a skillet over high seat till it sizzles. Reduce the heat to medium and, using a large spatula, place a filled roti in the pan. Cook for 3 to 4 min, till the crust is golden. Turn with a wide spatula and continue cooking. Repeat the process with the remaining roti. Serve the roti with your favorite warm sauce.

- Jay says ... Roti (pronounced row-tee) is a fat Caribbean sandwich stuffed with curried vegetables. Years ago, immigrant Indians brought the tradition to Trinidad, and it spread to all of the other islands. I devoured my first roti on Saint Lucia, and I was quickly converted to a roti enthusiast.
- Potatoes, chickpeas, and pumpkin are some of my favorite fillings. Ideally, the dough should be rolled out very thin, like a samosa wrapping or possibly a tortilla. - from Lean Bean Cuisine (1995) Jay Solomon /
