No, your eyes are not deceiving you—the bara is green. But this is no artificial coloring, and it’s not spinach or kale. At R&R Jr Roti Shop, the traditional fried dough of doubles has been replaced with crisp lettuce leaves.
The idea comes in response to questions often asked by health-conscious customers: “Have you ever tried a gluten-free bara?” While some alternatives, such as gluten-free roti, have struggled to meet quality expectations, the team at R&R Jr decided to experiment with lettuce as a lighter, healthier option.
The result: a doubles where the channa is cradled in fresh lettuce rather than fried dough. This gluten-free alternative balances tradition with a modern, health-conscious twist.
Now the real question is—would you eat doubles this way?
