The Evolution of Doubles- Rolly Polly

Similar to Grenada's Mr. Killa hit song, 'Rolly Polly' which represents curvy plus sized women. This Rolly Polly Doubles is serving up plump large doubles for hungry masses that don’t have time to prepare breakfast. 



This revolutionary idea was the brainchild of Shawn Saddnagim. Best known as 'George,' Shawn operated his popular business on Chacon Street, Port of Spain. The mini Dhal Puri is a thin, seasoned spilt peas-filled roti. It is served with channa (chickpeas or garbanzo beans). It is not your traditional Doubles. It is cooked on a tawah or platin (iron skillet) on an open flame. As compared to ‘bara’ which is essentially flat bread deep fried in oil. It is hailed by his customers as a healthier and excellent substitute to the greasy bara. It is served with regular assorted condiments- cucumber chutney, mango, kuchela, tamarind and chadon beni.

Rolly Polly Doubles is a mouthwatering breakfast wrap. It is soft and melts in your mouth. No forks, knives and plates needed. It is best eaten with your hands. It may be a messy to eat. Just ensure you have napkins close by. For a cost $6 Rolly Polly is worth a try.
Has anyone tried the Rolly Polly Doubles?
