Combien paires dal pourri/roti? :P

9 August 2010 38 Comments

A few days back, a friend told me that he once ate 10 pairs of one of the widely consumed fast food of Mauritius, commonly known as “dal pourri” or “dhol pourri”…

I was kindda astonished! I never ate more than 3 “dal pourri” or even “roti”.
Wow, I can’t imagine me eating more than that! I simply won’t be able to do that without getting sick!

So, this brings me with this blog post, trying to find out about the habits of some of the Mauritians reading this :-)

How many pairs of “dal pourri” or “roti” can you eat?

Note : The numbers here refer to the number of “dal pourri” eaten consecutively over the minutes, not during one week or month…

    I eat 2 pairs (once in a blue moon, i.e. 2-6 months)… even though it doesn’t satiate my hunger, I have to bear in the mind the kcal it contains.

    Record is 4. :P

    5 pairs is very manageable for me. I remember eating 10 rotis at a party in December last year … but they were quite thin and i did not abuse the curry.

    Normally 2 pais of “dal puri” is fine…if I give in for a 3rd one I start feeling disgusted and will not want to see nor smell them for weeks!!!

    Roti I love only the ones my mum makes and direct from the “tawa” on my plate with butter..yum! Maximum 2 then MAYBE 1 for dinner with curry but this is quite rare…the one with butter is enough at times.

    I know Michel was a “grand manzer” but after our wedding line perdi l’appeti :p

  • lina

    @Bhooks: d’apres l’orde to ena ene zafer contre roti aka toi ! lol

    Do you know that when roti aka started it was for the “enflés” who used to work on the docks because these workers needed to eat these food to have enough energy to do such tasks. This is why the rotis are so big and when you have eaten one you feel so full and heavy

    aster la tout dimune manze roti aka .. meme moi and i am only half the size of an “enflé camion”

    Btw mo pena nanier contre enflé camion, attention ena pou passe ene commentaire lor ce ki mone dire. Donc mo rédire: il n’y a pas de sot métier.

  • Raj K-B

    3-4 paires max kan aster dehors mais kan to manzer lakaz, it’s easy to lose track…

    There is a ‘Roti” seller in front of gates near Factory moulin la Concorde in the Port area called “Mannick” these were the rotis that the dockers used to ate in the 80′ and 90′ ,nowadays, we have “Aka” ones.
    I have personally eaten 1 1/2 Mannick rotis some years back.

    My personal records regarding dholl puree “Beret” – corner of La Paix St and Desforges st,available only in afternoon weekdyas, is Twelve (12)plus 2 verres Alouda.

    bon appetit
