Caribbean Roti

[kevmald]

I had posted the below message in the main forum and was advised that it maybe useful to post it here.

Not too far from where I live this is this wonderful Caribbean restaurant. They make the best roti I have ever had. I've looked and looked for a recipe that seems like it would come close to what I am looking for. I prefer the chicken ones, however that isn't the part that I'm concerned with. All I really need help with is the gravy. I haven't been able to find a recipe that looks like the gravy will come out even close to what I'm looking for.

For whatever reason I couldn't get the img tag to work but here is a picture of what I'm looking for: http://s16.postimage.org/u45hkio5h/roti.jpg

Any recipes that I find tend to have a much lighter gravy, I would like to find a recipe for one that is darker like this. I've also noticed that there must be some oil in the gravy as well because the oil will float to the top when left for a few minutes. This is much more a liquid than other curry recipes I tend to find on the internet.

Thank you, any help would be greatly appreciated!

This one looks dark and it looks thicker-I'm wondering if the oil that floats to the top is from cooking. This recipe calls for 1/4 cup.
