Zanzibari Pizza

A very Zanzibari improvisation, this take on pizza is familiar to locals and tourists alike, but it's very different from the Italian original. Instead of a crust with toppings, it’s a roti cooked on a flat, hot griddle, and folded around a spiced ground meat filling enhanced with cabbage, fresh eggs, tomatoes, shallots and sometimes crumbled cheese. A roti or paratha is used here, but frozen green onion pancakes also work. Serve with hot pepper sauce and ketchup for dipping.
