Originating in the Caribbean with Indian roots, a roti is a wrap style sandwich filled with either curried or sometimes stewed meats or vegetables wrapped inside a dhalpuri,[3] paratha, or dosti roti.[4] Roti is eaten widely across the Caribbean.[5] As Indo-Caribbean people immigrated to other countries, especially in North America and Europe, they brought with them the roti and opened roti shops to sell it.
