Hi, I have to say that this is definitely a traditional recipe. I left Trini in 1976 and I miss the food. I don’t get the oppty to visit much but I cook all the dishes my mother cooked. I don’t have the exact touch but it is great thus far. My children who are 1/2 Irish love the food. Kurma is a special dish in this house.
I taught my son (7) how to make Roti. He knows how to kneed the dough, roll it out and I have to place it on the Tawa.
My mother recently visited and we cooked for 2 days (all of it we kept in our freezer!).
Love your blog!!

OK, I know that I am more than a year late but I have some young relative coming from France to visit and was brousing to see what sweet Guyanese treat to make for them. I love the hard (thin?) mithai (Kurma) but did not think that they wouldso when I came upon your soft one I was delighted. I had forgotten all about it. I know that it is not any of the eids, but I grew up in the countryside in Guyana and we made anything at any time that we feel like eating it.
I am beginning to drool already and i still have two weeks to go. I am diabetic so I can’t eat it too much or too often but I m,ake up by using whole wheat flour. It works fine.
