It&#8217;s not that its hard or anything like that, but my family does it so much better than I do. I occasionally make bake and saltfish for breakfast, but really? I just make sure that I have what is necessary JUST in case my cousin comes over and is feeling to cook up something. Who am I to keep her from doing what SHE loves?\u00a0These are the things that I keep in my kitchen just in case some stew chicken, pilau, buss up shut, roti, or something else tasty just HAS to be made.<\/p>\n<p>You can get the items on amazon by clicking on the photos and (affiliate) links.<\/p>\n<p><strong>1. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Victoria-Tawa-Comal-Cast-Black\/dp\/B01ARYLQJM\/ref=as_li_ss_il?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1465212681&amp;sr=8-2&amp;keywords=roti+tawa&amp;linkCode=li3&amp;tag=socamom-20&amp;linkId=ca537708d069995497cc72d5560f0ce8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tawa for roti and buss up shut<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Victoria-Tawa-Comal-Cast-Black\/dp\/B01ARYLQJM\/ref=as_li_ss_il?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1465212681&amp;sr=8-2&amp;keywords=roti+tawa&amp;linkCode=li3&amp;tag=socamom-20&amp;linkId=ca537708d069995497cc72d5560f0ce8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"border: 0px; display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" src=\"http:\/\/ws-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/widgets\/q?_encoding=UTF8&amp;ASIN=B01ARYLQJM&amp;Format=_SL250_&amp;ID=AsinImage&amp;MarketPlace=US&amp;ServiceVersion=20070822&amp;WS=1&amp;tag=socamom-20\" width=\"400\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"border: none !important; margin: 0px !important;\" src=\"http:\/\/ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/e\/ir?t=socamom-20&amp;l=li3&amp;o=1&amp;a=B01ARYLQJM\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<p>This is a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Victoria-Tawa-Comal-Cast-Black\/dp\/B01ARYLQJM\/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1465212681&amp;sr=8-2&amp;keywords=roti+tawa&amp;linkCode=ll1&amp;tag=socamom-20&amp;linkId=05f19e42ec6cd236c13bf04de01bbf80\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">tawa<\/a>.
