Baku Kitchen! An independent reference of traditional food

Trinidad and Tobago

Trinidad and Tobago’s food is built around indo-Caribbean curries, chutney-laden doubles, and Creole pelau in the region’s liveliest street-food scene. Look for Doubles (two barra flatbreads with curried chickpeas and chutneys), Bake and shark (fried shark in fried bake with sauces; Maracas beach icon) and Roti (dhalpuri roti wrapped around curried meat and potato). Curried chickpeas between two fried baras; the Deen family of Princes Town is widely credited with creating and selling it from the 1930s.
