Traditional Roti Bread Recipe
Oualie Beach Resort

Roti bread…..the tortilla of the Caribbean. Well almost, I find roti bread to be lighter, and more delictae than tortillas.
Ingredients:
1½-cups flour
1½-teaspoons baking powder
½-teaspoon salt
1½-tablespoons lard, yes you read that correctly…lard. Ask your butcher for it.
A few tablespoons water
Cooking Method:
Mix all the dry ingredients thoroughly, then work in lard and add enough water to make a soft non-sticky dough. Cover and let the roti bread dough rise for an hour. Divide dough into six pieces, then roll out to 8-inch circles and cook individually in a heavy ungreased cast iron or nonstick skillet for about until they get just the slightest brown color to them.
The rotis they serve at Oualie Beach Resort, are made with chick pea flour, and are delicious! See my recipe for Beef Rotis here http://www.nevisblog.com/?p=1467

Pink Lily cancer Care Nevis is seeking donations to help create cancer awareness. The charity has already contributed towards medical costs of several Nevisians and Kittitians. Last year alone, the charity team of volunteers led by its Founder and Executive Director, Lea Parris-Cambridge delivered 42 cancer talks at work places, churches, community centres and schools. It has an ongoing campaign whose goal is to raise 50,000 EC to help screen 200 women for breast cancer. Already, the charity has raised EC25,000 and has launched its mammogram program on World Cancer Day, February 4.
The Charity will pay EC200 for each mammogram for high risk women who cannot afford a mammogram. The mammograms will be done in a private clinic in St. Kitts.
