Roti Prata


Today for breakfast we enjoyed some Roti Prata from the Indian hawker stall at West Coast Food Center. Roti Prata is a traditional Indian dish. The roti part is made of a delicous chewy dough that the is folder over itself to create a crepe-like product. Eric got regular roti and I got Roti-Prata Egg, which was the same thing with an egg folded and cooked into the center. The vendor gives you a plate of the roti with a bowl of spicy curry sauce with some lamb and vegetables in it. We ripped pieces off the roti with our fingers and dipped them into the sauce. This was a great breakfast! Breakfast foods here are very different than at home. What people get for breakfast here is what I would call lunch or dinner. They don't eat anything sweet like muffins or cinnamon rolls. Instead they get bowls of different kinds of noodle soups or spicy curries. I guess that spice really wakes you up in the morning.
