Sada roti is a simple Indo-Caribbean flatbread that came to the West Indies and is popular in both Trinidad & Guyana, and Guyana. In the time since it was introduced during Indian Indentureship,it has become a popular breakfast dish in both of those countries.

Another reason is because sada roti is easy to make and simply requires some practice.
