I used to eat googia a lot when I was very little and I think I may have had sugar roti once before, maybe from my aunt. My mom used to make a roti like the sweet dosa you were talking about but with the addition of mashed banana/ripe fig mixed in with the rest of the ingredients. I wonder what thats called...maybe banana dosa? My mom always just called it banana fritter but she also calls goolgoola banana fritter too...She's not one to care much for the traditional names of things. I on the other hand, prefer to call things by thier proper name... Interesting and thanks, I’m excited to get the recipes lol.

The mixture is poured on the Tarwah in a circular motion. The flour used to make the roti can be varied and when ground rice is used instead of wheat then we have a rice dosa or a plain dosa. Long ago in Trinidad we had rice being planted and so it was milled and used in many foods instead of wheat flour. Nice thin wafer like roti or plain dosa. Would work on the recipes with Chennette soon.......... Another name for the egg roti is sweet dosa and it is a South Indian roti made from a batter and cooked on a hot tarwah.

The pigeon peas are boiled, just like the split peas with salt and saffron and when soft, drained and ground ; it is then seasoned in the same manner as the split peas. Method for making peaspuri is the same as for making dhalpuri roti. Always made it whenever peas is in season. Not so often nowadays though. Peas puri it is called and it is made just like dhalpuri.
