Trinidad Sada Roti is a kind of flatbread that can be found in Trinidad and Tobago and is eaten for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, usually with a variety of vegetarian side dishes and meat dishes. It originated due to the Indian indentured laborers that were brought to Trinidad to work in the sugar plantations. Sada Roti is the Trini version of pita bread, naan, and chapati. It is also made in other parts of the Caribbean, such as Jamaica, Guyana, and Suriname.

Tip: Sada Roti is commonly cooked on a Tawa. Alternatively, a Flat cast iron griddle or wide round pan can work.
