At Singh's Roti Shop and Bar on Liberty Avenue, Sandra, who asked to be identified by only her first name because she feared disrupting her immigration proceedings, said she had been waiting on family sponsorship for 12 years; she was in the United States on a tourist visa.

As a tribute to their friendship and their shared culinary roots, Mr. Baldwin and Ms. Bailey have instigated a swap: On Wednesday night Ms. Bailey cooked 13 dishes of her own (including pickled oysters, braised endive with blue cheese and pecans, roast chicken, lamb roti, an ice cream sundae) at Houseman.

It comes encased (with potatoes standing in for chicken) in crimped puffs of obligingly flaky pastry the size of dolls' fists, and is the essential accessory to hand-stretched and spun roti canai, a layered flatbread that's close to see-through at the center and thick and chewy along the circumference.

The Roti Mopho at City Mouse is a salute to a similar dish Mr. Vincent was smitten with at the Southeastern Asian restaurant Mopho in New Orleans: here the flatbread is sided with a savory sesame eggplant relish, chunky tzatziki, fresh dates, a chile salsa and feta in olive oil.

Doughnuts and cookies, mesquite-laced or rose-scented, soon share tabletops with frankies, the so-called burritos of old Bombay: the tortilla is replaced with a flaky roti, and the filling, in the toothsome veggie frankie, includes tender button mushrooms, firm black garbanzo beans, and a cumin-spiked yogurt sauce.

NOM WAH TU Wilson Tang, who owns the Nom Wah restaurants, is now the managing partner with the chef Jonathan Wu in this newly minted melding of Nom Wah with their Fung Tu. Dim sum and chef's specials include hot and sour mushrooms, roti pancakes with vegetable curry, and duck fried rice.

So a recipe for flatbreads and crackers can be spun into charcoal biscuits, coconut roti, matzo, millet flatbread (resulting in a "pinky-gray dough" that "looked like Iggy Pop's tongue, circa 1972"), oatcakes ("a Methodist's flapjack"), potato parathas and more, before Segnit segues into a mother recipe for soda bread, biscuits and cobbler.

"The chef got the idea for this dish from Peking duck," our server said as he set down a long wooden tray with a copper pan of shredded lamb at one end, a stack of thin griddled flatbreads called rumali roti in the other, with cucumber spears and four kinds of chutney in the middle.

Fill that I would try to avoid today includes the plural AVAS, foreign ROTI, crosswordese OEN, ESME and EMAJ, prefix IDIO, abbreviated DESC and the partial I'M A. So happy to have this Tuesday puzzle published and officially hit for the cycle, having at least one puzzle published for every day of the week.

Each is $5, and a wonder: palata, as rich as Indian paratha but pulled nearly sheer, like Malaysian roti canai, and served plain, for dredging in scarlet curry, or with curry already hidden inside; and ohno kaukswe, a noodle soup fattened by coconut milk, with fish sauce in the depths and lime lancing the surface.

And just like that we're off, eating doughnut-shaped lentil fritters, bowl-shaped crepes of fermented rice flour, fish rolls, shrimp stir-fry, grated finger millet, shredded scraps of roti dripping with cheese, caramelized eggplant, fried rings of cuttlefish, and three different rice dishes—including one wrapped in banana leaves that may or may not contain testicles.

Lemony yogurt and cucumbers brightened a roti filled with deeply seasoned, slow-cooked lamb neck meat, while a crazy-looking sandwich of nicely chewy, fried bologna soared on the crisp vinegar-brined potato chips, melted American cheese and hot mustard also layered between its two thick slices of buttered-and-griddled white bread (baked by a friend of the chef).

Her newly released book, Indian-ish: Recipes and Antics from a Modern American Family, is a paean to her mother, Ritu, who served up roti pizza, saag paneer with feta cheese, and dahi toast with sourdough bread — in part, out of a desire for invention mixed with nostalgia, but also because she had to make do with what was available in this new country.

I had one of the most memorable — and inexpensive — meals of my adult life at a blink-and-you-miss-it kiosk called Bushman Kitchen on Brixton Station Road, where there was no menu, and the man who served me insisted on making me something special, which I couldn't get in America, and produced a jerk chicken roti with plantains and cabbage that was so delicious I wanted to move to Jamaica.

Here was beef braised seemingly forever in coconut milk, beautifully slumped with all its knots undone, making a virtue of indolence; fish and shrimp paste spread inside crinkly rectangles of tofu skin and slipped into a bowl of curry laksa, the soup's surface flecked with melted fat; and fish heads mobbed by okra and eggplant in a curry so luxurious, I couldn't stop dragging strips of roti canai through it and watching them turn to gold.
