Quick Facts
When any of the griddle breads are ripped apart for dipping in curries, they are called "buss-up-shut," vernacular for "burst-up-shirt," because they resemble torn-up cloth. When left whole, they are stuffed with any curried meat, seafood, or vegetables and rolled up in the manner of a burrito.
