Learn to make this Trinidadian favorite that's simply irresistible. This recipe for Trinidadian bhagi uses simple ingredients including chopped spinach, cumin and coconut cream. This recipe is traditionally made with Dasheen bush leaves(taro) or chowrai bhagi, however those are not readily available in NY where we live, instead we are using frozen chopped spinach, which is equally as delicious and more convenient.
Enjoyed with dhal and rice or sada and dosti roti, it is one of my absolute favorites. After 9 years of blogging , I am happy to finally share this recipe with you.

So sorry for your loss . Thank you for sharing these recipes and stories, you have helped this first generation American keep and learn more of our Trinidad culture. Thank you from the heart .
This is a beautiful recipe! I’m sorry for your loss. I am glad that you got a chance to record this with your mommy’s voice.
Thank you. We miss our beautiful birdie.
Love your vegetarian recipes being one myself...would love a kurhee recipe using fresh ground split peas
Thanks for sharing, you are giving me some good ideas for my cooking
I remember as a little girl in Tunapuna eating Bhagi that my grandmother made and relishing the smell and then the taste as it melted in my mouth with her roti! Such wonder memories. Thank you for this recipe! Like you I’ve been trying to simulate the texture and flavour. My grandmother also made the best stewed beef and eggplant Oh! It was so delicious. I’ve made several attempts to make it like hers but it never comes out the same. It would be great to see your take on a stew beef and eggplant recipe. Thank you again Ria for you awesome recipes!🙏🏾🇹🇹
Never had it with geera n coconut milk but going 2 try it. Love your recipes and keep them coming

Wholesome recipe
This is wonderful. A great alternative to the bland vegetable side-dishes I'm used to preparing. I'll add coconut cream to my grocery list this week. Thank you so much for all of these wonderful recipes. Looking forward to your next one.
Oh my gosh! This looks soooooooo delicious!!! Feeling for some rice and bhagee now 😋 I have not eaten it in ages. I recall the childhood days of being sent to cut the leaves for calalloo on a Sunday. Need to make a trip home island 🏝️🇹🇹❤️
Thank you 😋
I love bhagi with rice, dhal and kuchela, and of course my salad on the side 😍😍😍 Thanks Ria, I'm gonna cook this today 😋

Good morning aunty Ria... dont forget to to show us your Diwali menu 😋 the thing you cook
Never put geera in bagee , will give it a try , love to watch you cook you make it look so easy
I got bhaji in Canada..it is known as amaranth. I don't know if you would get it on Liberty Avenue. I love bhaji..any kind. Without fail it is the vegetable that I must buy every week..whether it is chorai..dasheen leaves..poi or pakchoy. You made me drool with your finished plate. Great job as always👌👌👌
Never seen it there. I agree, it should be on the menu every week. Thanks for stopping by as usual. 🌷
Hi Ria, has this recipe been updated on 6our channel? Ive been watching some other channels and I see people adding some additional aromatics, omitting the coconut cream and adding some lime at the end. I enjoyed this recipe with the simple ingredients you used, but since this was at least 4 years ago, I just wondered if you had updated it.
wife makes it it’s delicious 🤤
Happy Diwali to you and family, I like your(mom) recipe the combination of jeera coconut and lisoen ( garlic) but I ask my self if the bhaji is not cooking too long time because of the vitamines ?? But it seems Delicious. I like it
Keep the vegan recipes coming so that I don’t starve 😇
Hi Ria my son and husband loves bhagi to eat sada roti or dhal and rice I would like to wish you a great week and happy Diwali to you and your family and stay safe bye.
Thanks Sandra-and same to you and your family!
Looks good but I don't add water and I never used geera before ,but I will try it
DELICIOUS YUMMY
Happy Diwali to you and your family Ria
So excited to try this... question though: if I'm using canned coconut milk, do I still need the water...? And, I'm going to try it with fresh baby spinach .. Wondering if anyone has tried that?
I've made bhaji with chopped spinach and with baby spinach. Both tastes equally good, but it's just that the baby spinach takes a little bit longer to "cook down."
Hi Ria I also do the same still call my mother and ask her how to cook certain foods 😁😁
Callaloo 👀 😋
Fresh Coconut oil can be used as well.
🤤
Did you film this earlier Ria as I heard your birdie tweet so sweetly or probably I am missing your birdie and heard something wrong.
Yes Bumbi-Filmed a little while back.
Ria is that the cockatiel that we sometimes see on the counter? So sorry for your loss 😢
Yes, thanks. 😢
@@CookingWithRia I know what that bond is like. It's never easy losing a part of your family. Thankfully you have footage and the memories of him. 🌻
@@CharissaHarewood Thank you.She was loving & very smart. 🌷
Can you substitute the creamed coconut with canned coconut milk? If so, how much? About half a standard can?
Yes I would use 1/2 can-don’t want to overpower the taste of the spinach.
Thanks!
Just in time, Diwali is tomorrow.
2 teaspoons of salt in that small dish of spinach?
1. Wasn’t table salt- which is stronger
2. A cook always has the option and freedom to add salt to taste.
Thanks for stopping by.
Lovely recipe...just a suggestion, you may want to correct the heading of your video to “mommy’s “. No disrespect.
Your voice sounds like the voice i would hear if I died and woke up in a simulation or something. Like a cool Scifi voice
We don't put geera in bagee.
We do.
