A Tawa (tawah) or Platin is similar to a griddle. It is another cast iron cooking utensil that a Trini cannot do without. It is used for making bake and roti (and for me a good substitute for baking pizza). They come in various sizes as well. The larger ones are used for making buss-up-shut ( paratha roti) for weddings and other large occasions.
A tawa or platin
Hi. Love your blog! Do you possibly know where I could buy a tawa in NYC area? Ive married into a Indo-Trini family and I want to start making rotis myself.
Thanks!

Sorry Lou I don’t know of any, but there maybe someone in my facebook group from USA who might know. You can check it out.
