The Toronto-style butter chicken roti is about as Toronto as it gets. When an Indian immigrant learns of a Caribbean dish invented by the Indian diaspora there, and the virtuous cycle of roti & curry development continues. Burning hot aluminum container, fork & knife, stretchy but sturdy roti holding a beautifully balanced butter chicken.
Got it from Roti Mahal, which stands in the same spot where this dish was invented in the mid 90s. Two chefs, Prodip and Gigi, at the then-named Gandhi’s, bought the location from inventor Avtar Singh and now continue the tradition.
