Sister. Your videos are super simple to follow. Though we make kitchri differently in Fiji, almost all of the dishes you share are what I grew up with. Right down to the barfi we refer to as Fiji ke barfi. Thank you for sharing such recipes and giving all of us a feeling of home 💜💜💜
Thanks for the video. We have always cooked this in Trinidad (split peas and rice) and so have my friends and we are not of East Indian descent. I don't know if the people who are saying these are younger people. I am way older than you are and it was always a staple in our home. Everybody I know cooked it. We also put salted pig tails in it. I don't recall us using turmeric and carrots. What we did different was to add the rice after we boiled the peas, pigtails and seasoning with enough water for the rice, so the flavor of the liquid seasoned the rice. If more seasoning was needed, we then added it along with some butter. We did not use all the artificial things like soup mix, etc. We always added some finely diced pumpkin for all cook up rice dishes and stewed peas dishes. Makes a great difference in the texture and taste.
I am so new to cooking n this video is the biggest help. It doesn't have all these different spices. All these ingredients I know already n have so really liked this vid. N great guide towards cooking the meal. Am also a Trini love this meal
Love this recipe. I love all your videos...so simple to follow. I've been cooking away - since I started following your channel...Lol!! Thanks for sharing.
Back in the old country of Guyana .... now a distant memory - it was called " cook-up " cooked the old fashioned way . A yum yum staple for vegetarians which I still have with added spinach, okras etc garnished with crispy fried onions.🇬🇧🇬🇧🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷
I am from Trinidad and I'm in 30's now; my family made this every alternative Saturday instead of Saturday Soup we would eat it with anchar or curry mango; I only mentioned this because you said a lot of Trini's don't know about this dish.That said love your videos, you and Bat are awesome, keep up the good work,xoxo
Wow I haven't had Kitchri nor Coconut Chutney in years, given my Grandma lives back home and only she knew how to make it... but this recipe looks so yum and Authentic, I have to try it.! I going and roast a Scott bonnet over the stove and mash it into the coconut chutney. Thanks for the videos, please make more😊
+Vincent2wice Wow, yeah Grandmas always make it the best! Try it though and tell me what you think! Yess, I didn't even think of roasting it! Will try it next time. I might make a pepper choka video soon also. You're welcome and thanks so much for watching and supporting all my videos!
Hi taste of trini looks delicious ,I never used vegetables though will try it that way but I do make mines with sath fish at the end I add golden ray.somethimes tomatoe choka goes well with it. On the side
+adanna o'brady Hey, if the only thing I can say is to add more water to the pot and let it cook longer, however, it will result with you having extremely over-cooked rice. That's why it's best to boil the split peas well before you add it to the pot. Hope this was helpful.
You can try soaking it the night before and using a pressure cooker. I do find that the peas take a very long to get soft these days. They are not like what we used to get before. The only two that cooks quickly are the lentil peas and lime beans.
As you mention Diwali you took me back 60 Years ago when Trinidad Hindu community was 100 % Vaishnava (Worshipers of Vishnu (KRISHNA AND RAMA) The Mothers would put Kagar in the eyes of their daughters, Radha rani and her Gopies would put Kajar in their eyes as a form of beauty. We were reminded of Brindaban (Brinda means Tulsie and ban means a grove. ) There was not a single Hindu family without a Tulsie plant. Around 1980's Indian politicians came to Trinidad and polluted the the religion and place the Shiva Linga and Parbati Yoni and killed Sita and Rama. They introduced Shiviteeism .
never seen anyone put soup mix.. we usually add the tumeric to the boiling dhal and use that water to cook the kitchree... then chunkay the pot with fry geer, garlic, hot pepper and curry leaves. this is a super modern recipe. the triditional recipe doesnt have salt butter, celery stalk or bell peppers.
Kennis Powell Everyone has their own way of making it. This is how my mom taught me and my grandma makes it this way as well. Your way sounds great as well ☺
Taste of Trini originally this was a recipe the poor uses to make a meal. Hence the very basic ingredients in the traditional recipe. Overtime i has evolved to using more modern ingredients. Back in the day it didnt have salt butter, soup mix and the likes. The only seasoning was salt, garlic, onion, geera, hot pepper and banania from the yard and coconut milk from the tree outside.. cooking on fire side taste best!!
In Trinidad and Guyana it means people of Indian origin. It get confusing no matter what term you use. West Indian means anyone from the English Caribbean countries, which includes Indians
