Day 51: Jamaican Roti Wrap from a Niagara foodtruck

I can't remember exactly where this foodtruck was, but it was near fallsview and I'm sure if you ask the locals, they will tell you. The lady made the filling for me right to order, so it was a hot filling. But it was lacking in salt, and hotness, as well as all those gorgeous Jamaican spices that she could have used, but dulled down. The roti (wrapper) was dry and doughy.

On roti wrap:
West Indian roti are primarily made from wheat flour, baking powder, salt, and water and cooked on a tava. Certain rotis are also made with butter. The wrap roti originated in southern Trinidad. It was first created in the mid 1940s by Sackina Karamath who later founded Hummingbird Roti Shop in San Fernando, Trinidad.
