The dough contains fried split peas and masala spices and then rolled out into pancake size. The roti is a type of unsweetened bread pancake that can have various additions. The Surinamese variant often contains ground yellow split peas (roti dal) or potatoes (roti alu) and with seasonings such as cumin and chili pepper. For the preparation, balls of dough (possibly with additional ingredients) are rolled out into thin “pancakes” that are baked on a so-called roti plate. The Surinamese roti is served with a number of side dishes. Such as long beans, potatoes, hard-boiled eggs, garlic, onion and different types of meat (chicken, lamb, beef). These side dishes are usually seasoned with masala, a mixture of ground spices similar to curry
