tsk tsk – the original panini (in our house anyway!) – although I must say Lilandra’s panini machine is much easier than pressing down on your hops with a fish slice/cheese slicer until your hands hurt. We didn’t know about panini back then, that was decades ago but we needed it flat tomake sure the cheese melted.

you mean all tawahs don’t live in the oven?
Or perhaps permanently on top the stove, for those who make sada roti every morning (my grandmother) or when we used it as a toaster (tawah grilled-cheese sandwiches are the best). Hope your mother finds it soon!

I did watch the first movie and yes, I can see how I’ll begin to sound like Alyson Hannigan…

BTW That roti making video was excellent – THAT is a wedding roti – the size of the tawah and all implements bring out the festivities

I feel like this is becoming a habit…but in Guyana lol

In Guyana, they use the leaf of the lotus plant. The lotus grows in abundance in the canals (“big drains”) and the bowl like shape of the leaf is perfect. People can also easily close it and carry it away like a pouch, which is harder for the leaves we use I think in Trinidad.
