An aloo pie is a variant of the samosa popular in Trinidad and Tobago.[1] It is a soft, fried pastry made from flour and water, and filled with boiled, spiced and mashed potatoes (aloo being a romanization of the Hindi word for "potato") and other vegetables like green peas or chana dal (split chickpeas without their seedcoat).
Doubles is a common street food in Trinidad and Tobago. It is a sandwich made with two bara (flat fried bread) filled with channa (curried chick peas or garbanzo beans). Topped with a variety of spicy chutneys (mango, cucumber, coconut, tamarind) and extra pepper sauce (ranging from a dash "slight" to much more), this delicacy is the most popular fast food in Trinidad and Tobago. It is usually eaten for breakfast, and sometimes lunch, but can be a late night snack as well.
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.
