- Hello Everyone! Today I'm making a copycat version of the Barbados (Bajan) Chefette Roti. It is made with a West Indian flat known as roti skins and a filling of curried meats of your choice with or without potato with a selection of different Indian spices. An absolute favorite of all Bajans. I hope that you will give it a try. ****REMEMBER TO HIT THE "LIKE" BUTTON******

Hello Jaida and greetings, thank you so much, I truly appreciate you stopping. Be safe and well. Xo
Well done Paulette as usual, I will be getting my favourite Goat Roti this week , I am holiday so Scarborough here I come. Now are you ready to rumble with me for Tinaraine All Purpose Bowl because I commented on it first and I want it. LOL. Many Blessings.
Lolololol, Yikes!!!!
We about to set up shop!!!!!!! Open the doors and let them in!!!!!!!
Whoop whoop!!! Xoxo
one question Paulette? I am looking to buy a roti tower what size should i get a 30cm or 33cm? and what size and how tin/tick is your roti skins ?
Hello Randolph, if you can get bigger than 33cm then I would suggest get a bigger one; if not that should be fine just roll them out shy of the tawa; you don't want the dough to be over the tawa. It is important that the edges are within that space. Great idea to purchase one and the proper name is a "roti tawa or griddle" Good luck. Xo
Hi Paulette still after a year I am still struggling to make these skins grrrrr
Hey Randolph!!! Believe me, I know, unfortunately it does not happen overnight, it took me a looooooong time and lots of flour wasted before I could get it right but perseverance seldom fails. Keep on chugging, you can do it!!!! Thanks again for asking me to make that, have a blessed and awesome week. Xo
Hi Paulette. It's Dee from long island! When i saw you using the Chicken breast i was like no! It's going to be dry and tough. That has been my experience with curried chicken breast (not mine!) from restaurants. I love the way your roti looks. So guess what I'm cooking for dinner??? Altho i don't have any chadon bene or scallions - darn it - shrimp roti tonight! One thing, which curry powder do u use? My husband and i are finding curry powder doesn't have they zing anymore. I used Chief and Indi madras for years. Very blah. We only like the trini curry. No amount of green sauce or gheera making it better. Help!
Hello Dee!!! Well my dear, Chief has always been my favorite but you have to use the other spices that I listed; I kid you not, everything was so perfect and I assure you it was the best curry I have every made and better than Chefette. The cream coconut and the knorr cubes gives it that extra flavor as well. Try it exactly how I did it and you will see, just watch the spices for the salt. Thanks so much dear, good to hear from you, have a blessed week. Xoxo
@@EverythingPaulette thank you. I made the shrimp roti using all the ingredients u used minus the green sauce. It came out good. Take care.
@@deediane8874 Hi Dee, I hope I wasn't too late but I am happy it came out good and you enjoyed it; just a little tip for next time, when you are cooking curry shrimp you need to cook the curry on low heat making sure not to burn and stirring constantly then add some coconut milk and simmer to the right consistency before adding the shrimp. Have an amazing week.
@@EverythingPaulette thank u?!
Indi brand curry an masala are the best for curries
I have never heard of a tower before. Why do you have to shake the roti?
Lol, it is called a "Tawa' It is just a griddle to cook the roti skins on. And shaking or clapping is just to give them another texture by creating layers of flakiness. Thanks again my Friend. Xo
Look yummy 😋
Might taste good but there’s no way Cheffette use organic coconut oil n other expensive ingredients. Nuff said!
Ohhhh you know the deal, thank you so much for stopping by, much appreciated. Xo
What's with the GUY'S..GUYS ..GUYS ..all the fricking.. times stupes....
GM Ruben, my apologies, bad habits, lol. Thanks for watching and have a blessed day. Xo
@@EverythingPaulette no problem just that it was a bit annoying...avery time I watch a coming show people keep saying order and over lol . ..and I was really enjoying your cooking
@@rubencritchlow4174 Np. Xo
So its early morn...I'm on a bus in London..making my way to a client...check notifications and my mouth starts watering immediately as I see the title of this vid... thanks Paulette...memories of my boyhood and my favourite food...so have to come back to Christchurch soon!!!
Aaaaawessome!!!!!!!! Christ Church Huuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!! Have a blessed day. Xo
I just came back and my mouth still watering all now.
I am a Bajan living overseas and my palate is watering for Roti, and came seeking out an authentic recipe. Will be following this recipe later this week. Thanks Paulette!
Well Hello Kiiee P, thank you soooo much!! I truly appreciate you stopping by and I hope to see more of you. Take care and God bless. Xo
@@EverythingPaulette I subscribed. Do you have a videofor the Bajan meat patty?
@@kiieep381 Hello Kiiee thank you so much for your support, unfortunately I do not have a Bajan meat patty video up yet but I will try to do that for as soon as I can, I will not give you a date due to the holidays are quickly approaching but if I can fit it in for the holidays I sure would try. And again thank you!! Xo
@@EverythingPaulette I had to watch again. 😋 I never heard of adobe and gera. There is an Indian store across the street from where I live. I added these two to my shopping list. Not sure where to get those ingredients from. Thanks again. I do not want to lose the art of Bajan cooking.
I'm hungry will try it at the weekend been waiting for this for a long time well done!! I don't have a tower so might use a large frying pan
You are very welcome!! Sounds good but you have to keep in mind that you have to make the skin smaller than the inner perimeter of your frying pan so that your ends can cook properly; very important. Thanks for being patient and God's speed. Xo
Paulette this looks so yummy and delicious😋 Thank you so much for sharing your recipe with us. May the Lord continue to bless you and your Family🙏🏼 stay safe and healthy.
Thank you so much dear, I appreciate it and continued blessings to you as well. Xoxo
I just ate my iPad watching this…🤤🤤
Aaaaahhhhh!!!!! 👍🏽👍🏽 Thank you!!!
What is the purpose of shaking the skins?
Randolph welch Hello Randolph, you really don’t have to, that’s just giving it another texture to show the different layers of flakiness, that’s all.
Wow I never had this meal before.
As usual great meal preparation and every detail you showed us how to put it together.
GM Shenelle, thank you!!! much appreciated. Xoxo
Oooh I meant to say, you need to find a Caribbean Restaurant in your area that sells Rotis and ask for a beef/chicken and potato dhal puri roti or regular without the peas but fyi, the peas which is the dhal puri is better. Xo
Superb! Another establishment (Chefette) bites the dust. Cooking with #EverythingPaulette brings the home-cooked meals straight to our kitchen guys/gals. And another 5 out of 5 STARS!
Hey Frannie Pooh, I was thinking about you, bro, you have me smiling from ear to ear, lol. If only you can taste it!! thank you so much, I appreciate it. Be safe and well. Xoxoxo
Thank you so much for this ❤️ I adore Chefette and am so sad it’s not available in the UK!
Hello, thank you so much for watching, I truly appreciate it, and me too am sorry it is not available to you; fyi, if you know of anyone traveling back from Barbados you can ask them to do you a favor and bring you back some, they freeze very well. Have a great weekend. Xo
Unfortunately. "curry" means nothing without knowing what's in that spice mix.
I laughed aloud when you said ‘attempt”. No, Paulette, I attempt. You cook.
Heeheee, I will respond to you a little when I am relaxing, need to give you my full attention. Xo
Hello my dear, I just didn't want to be presumptuous, lol.
Everything Paulette, you have every right to have confidence and presume that whatever you cook will work out. I, on the other hand, go in with low expectations and am beside myself when our family happily eats it -- because sometimes the opposite happens 😳.
what curry is it? my dad taken me back to his place of birth and the chefette roti was delicious 😋 so i would love to do it up hwre in the uk for my friends and family
Hello lady louanne, I always suggest using "Chief" in my opinion that is the best, you might be able to order it from Amazon if you can't get it locally, but you must use a good curry if you want a good tasting roti. Thank you so much for watching, blessings. Xo
@Everything Paulette Thank you so much for replying an I will get it of amazon
God bless you an fam for life.🥰
another yummy dish
Ron B Thank you 🙏 so much Ron, I appreciate you, have an awesome 👏 day!! ❤️
Yes who needs Chefeete when you can make your own! Your roti skin looks really good and that curry looks delicious. You are not as far as Barbados I may have to take a flight up to you for some samples. Another good job done my friend
Yes, I truly wish we live closer, any time ,y Friend. Have an amazing week. Xo
Nice roti skin. A Guyanese friend gave me a roti iron many years ago and it got thrown out inside my oven when we did the repairs to the house after Hurricanes Irma and Maria. I love making roti skin but I have not done it in a long time. Thanks for sharing 👏
Ooooouuu that is so unfortunate and a good one is not cheap either. Thanks for watching Sis. Xo
Oh my! This looks so delicious 😋
I can’t promise that I will try it. I will let the pro serve me.
There’s a lot of step but, you made it look easy.
Please remember me whenever you are sending some to your daughter.
Tfs
Have a wonderful evening and stay safe ❤️🍁
Hello my Friend, yes this can be ver challenging so I would suggest that you purchase one from the Restaurant; thanks so much for watching dear. Have a restful evening. Xo
Amazing, Chef Paulette. Wow, the curry chicken look so delicious. The roti is perfect. I know if I tried making the roti I would end up with a hot mess. You have a gift for cooking. I do not. Hubby loves anything with curry. Maybe he will try your recipe. Your kitchen must smell really great right about now. Curry has a very distinguished smell. I always enjoy watching you cook, my friend. Thanks so much for sharing. Enjoy your week ahead, get some rest and stay safe. ~Hugs 🕊🌹🕊
GM my Friend, yes got some well deserve rest. And yes my kitchen was smelling amazing!!! and the roti was amazing!!! Well, God gifted our hands to do different things, some of us he give multi talents and some of us few so we use what he give us to the best of our ability. Have a super awesome day my dear. Xoxoxo
D'Vine Inspirations By Martha, hello, Martha. When I cook, I am usually the hot mess, and the kitchen looks like a disaster zone. Thank God Harold is on clean up. 🤣😂🤣 Thanksgiving in Canada is in two weeks. I love the gathering - I dread the cooking. Thank goodness everyone contributes. 💕
So typically Bajan " This surface is super clean"..No doubt at all. Thanks for the recipe. I can see the skins as the challenge 👀 .......Brought them back to London on many an occasion maybe this will save me the trouble...Thanks again..
Hello there, thank you so much for watching, I appreciate it. Practice, practice, practice, like everything else, remember the softer the dough the better the skins will be. Have a blessed day. Xo
Mrs. Paulette the coconut cream I never used with the coconut oil ohhh my.. I'm hungry ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️ looking so delicious and your showing us how to make the Roti aww man it's a good day 😍😍😍😍😍
Ooooh yeah!!! So delicious!! Tfw!! Have a blessed week. Xo
@@EverythingPaulette your welcome, Thank you, have a blessed week as well 🙏🏾💕😊
Spot on 💯✅😋
I had miss this video but this is the real thing your roti looks better than chef ette lol. I wanted to take a bite. Keep up the good work.
You know right!?!? I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving and continue to be safe, thanks for watching!! Xoxoxo
OMG been trying to make this for long time, miss Chefette and especially the Roti
Thank you!!! 🤞🤞🤞
Them rotis look delicious, and them bigger than Chefette ones, so who needs Chefette is right
Right!!! Thanks so much for watching!!
Oh my Paulette, you have my mouth watering. I love Shefette food. Thanks for sharing this great recipe😮
Aaaaawe, you need to get back into it, lol. Thanks for watching dear, so appreciated. Xo
Shefette?
I will be making these roti
Look so yummy
Thanks for sharing
Thank you so much for watching! Xo
It's looks delicious 👍Thanks for sharing
Thank you so much for watching!!! Xo
Has anyone actually tried the recipe? Does it taste like chefette roti?
I tried the curry recipe and yes it does taste like the curry in a roti. I used burrito wraps instead of making the actual roti and it still came out very good
Great job!!! Thanks for showing me how to make the skins
You are very welcome!!!
Can’t buy roti skin in N.C. so I will try your recipe this week.
What, really?!?!?! Well you better learn really fast, that is your business right there!!! Lol, lots of hard work too. Thank you so much for watching dear. Xoxo
I love this when I am in Barbados so I just want you to overnight me some I will be ever so grateful.
Aaaaawe!!! thank you so much for stopping by. I truly appreciate you, blessings dear. Xo
So nice and yummy my dear 🤗👌😋😋
Thank you soooo much!! Xo
That roti looks so tasty...I've got a feeling I'm going to get the skins do better this time.
Hey Cuz, you really need to have the right pan, if not you have to make them really small so that your ends cook and roll them out thin, if they are too thick, it is going to be a mess; hope those tips help. Thanks so much for watching, I appreciate it. Xoxo
Awesome dish 😍💖👌Tfs!
Thank you so much my Friend, I truly appreciate you, have an awesome week ahead. Xo
Wow! Harold and I both think this looks delicious. I think the roti part is out of my league, but I can certainly give the chicken a try. Since Harold knows my limitations, he suggested I try store bought tortillas - yes, I laughed AT him.
Ok so if you carry the Naan Indian bread over there, that might be more appropriate; would be perfect with curry, not tortillas. Thanks so much for watching dear. Have a blessed morning. Xo
Great idea. I buy naan bread all the time.
@@prettyinspireddecor6787 There you go!!!! Xo
Looks really tasty, will try tour recipe
Thanks so much Sis!! Xoxo
