You’ve had Aloo (potato) roti right? Spiced seasoned mashed potatoes encased in dough that when rolled thinly puffs up on the tawah. It is a taste of home and considered comfort food. It is a treat. Eaten as is or with a slathering of sour and washed down with your favourite hot or cold beverage, it is pleasurable eating. Well, I want you to imagine all of that, only this time, the filling of spiced, mashed cassava!
Come with me.
This cassava-stuffed roti is made a little heartier than the traditional potato roti. I made it in the style of a Sada roti because I felt that the cassava being heavier and more condensed than potatoes, needed a dough with a little more heft. I was right. Whilst cooking, it puffed up just as Sada roti or potato roti would. Here’s why I want you to try this roti: unlike Sada roti, I brushed this roti hot off the stove with melted butter, sprinkled it with fresh ground geera/cumin and fresh coriander/cilantro. It was the bomb!
