P&G

Kitchen: Indian - Roti

P&G roti to go

On the way back from visiting Fort New Amsterdam on Commewijne, we stop at P&G for take away roti. Nine years ago when I was last in Surinam, a number of people whose taste buds I respect, were very fund of P&G. Back then there was only one shop on the other side of the river (this one!), which probably added to the exotic taste. Obviously, I am looking forward to the experience!

The man behind the counter has a good sense of humor. That scores points. We order 4 roti’s: 3 with extra chicken and 1 vega. We wait for 10 minutes, which is fine. Once home, we quickly unwrap our packages. They contain a sufficient amount of masala chicken, potato, ‘kouseband’ green beans, and a roti pancake. And spicy pepper. Firstly, the roti pancake: it is nicely filled with yellow ‘pesi’, but something is missing. It rips up a bit dry, maybe. The taste is good, the masala is excellent! Spicy, but not too much. The kouseband is still crunchy. Finally, the potato was left quite crude; personally I like it a bit more mashed. But there is nothing wrong with the taste. I enjoyed eating this roti: its taste met the expectation.
