In the West Indies the word roti refers not only to the pastry but to the complete pastry with some sort of savory filling. In Asia 'roti' means what West Indians would call 'roti skins.' Roti also features prominently in the diet of many West Indian countries, especially Trinidad and Tobago, Guyana and Suriname. West Indian roti are primarily made from wheat flour, baking powder, salt, and water and cooked on a tava.
