I'm such a fan of South Asian and West/East African foods thinking that we don't make this or that back home but then I always end up finding it on your channel and I love our Guyanese versions better and the feel more familiar to me. Thanks @Real Nice Guyana.
Wow thank u I try it and I add salt fish and chicken foot cause my son love his chicken and apart i grate green mango added pepper salt limon juice and I boil okro and sock it in vineger chines suger salt and suger and pepper ,also slice cocumber and tomato and eat it on top it was so yummy thank u so much cause I didn't know how to do it even do I saw my mother in law make it I still forget cause she was doing all the cooking now that am apart I have to try on my own .
ITALIAN RISOTTO most likely came from West Asian countries and Persia/ Iran. They never originally had access to rice which originated in China and India
yes typically Indians add mung dal either with skin or without But Guyana cooking of course is adopted to the availability of mung dal that is why he is using Matar but it will be excellent as we lived in the Caribbean I learnt a lot 😀⛱👍🙋
Thanks for posting Shunella, we appreciate the feedback and happy it went as planned. Well I think you are lucky, your niece could have a more expensive favorite.😀
Dear friends always appreciate the cooking never say this is not how we do it yes every kitchen every cook every region culture and country has different cuisines same dish will be modified according to the available resources even if everything is available for health reasons you have to modify salt pepper sugar fat etc so please learn from all chefs pushpa v rao
My first time 10/28/2020 watching someone cook it, thanks 🙏🏽 I’m sure it’s delish 😋 I make a good one as well but I put no coconut milk and sometimes I don’t chunkay. I cook my peas like Dhal. Then I add the rice and 1-2 tbsp of oil to prevent sticking, then, I cover mine until it’s done. Depends on the amount of rice, 30-45mins on low heat. So happy I got to see the old time way. Thanks again 👍🏽👍🏽 Sad someone told me years ago they put coconut milk and I was surprised. So now I know why.
Yes, coconut milk is usually added. if you do not chunkay it then it is not Kichri, it is split peas cook up. If you are calling it Kichri it has to be chunkayed.
Firstly the peas does not need to be soaked overnight. For this recipe we added the peas at the same time with the rice. Some people like their peas softer in the Kitchri, so they would boil the peas for about 10 minutes before the rice is added . So it all depends on your preference.
@@RealNiceGuyana, Nice! My husband's family has the Hoayun Tavern by the Vreeden-Hoop stellin. I'm Dominican so I love learning to make his Guyanese dishes from your very easy to follow videos, living here in Florida, Please keep it up!
For the people who are say its poor people food...here is an explanation: In India The dish was probably originally eaten for breakfast something similar to the watery rice Chines eat called Congee in the morning. Mar and rice was actually a ting in Guyana. My grandmother sometimes ate it. Which we though was gross It was also originally for people who we were not well as its mild compared to other dishes It used to be well know in England going back to the early 1800's en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khichdi
I remembered going to my nanie's house every Friday to eat this dish. It's always so delicious. Thanks for sharing I always wanted to know how to make it.
You did not mention the salt and other things at the beginning. Would be great if you could make a list of the ingredients. Did you add another pepper and another ingredient that you did not mention earlier?
All the ingredients with measurements is always listed in the description box of all our videos . Please check there, the water used in this recipe is approx 2 1/2 cups
What's in the video is not what we cook as kitcharee in Guyana...we dnt use coconut milk and secondly we use alot of spice...tumaric, cumin etc...and my grandma was 65 yrs old 20 yrs ago when she thought my mother to cook it...what he is doing there is called shine rice...
We didn't need a recipe for this dish in Guyana. just go in the backdam with with a cup of rice and some dhal, and throw in anything you find that's convenient 'round- about! After that meal, no matter if your mother cook korilla and dry shrimps, you will eat it hapilly!
Well some people add potatoes too, did your grandmother added that too ? . The more ingredients you add does not make it more traditional, it was a low cost meal poor people made with only the peas and rice and whatever seasonings was available. That is what is 'traditional' about this dish.
I just came across this comment. I hope you were not being arrogant. This poor man food is so much tastier and healthier than the rich man caviar. Give me this any day!
So delicious tried it 3 times came out perfect and yummy, thanks for posting these recipes 👍keep it up

Soulfulgirl100 جطط
I'm meal planning for a week. Does this stay in the fridge for a week?
Yes it will.
Please tell me how long the peas have to boil before you put the rice. And if you soak the peas overnight. @realniceguyana
Firstly the peas does not need to be soaked overnight. For this recipe we added the peas at the same time with the rice.
Some people like their peas softer in the Kitchri, so they would boil the peas for about 10 minutes before the rice is added .
So it all depends on your preference.
Can we use coconut oil or olive oil to do chunkaying instead of vegetable oil?
Yes, definitely.
@@RealNiceGuyana thank you
You're welcome.
Looks delicious! What city in Guyana do you live in?
Thanks, Georgetown.
@@RealNiceGuyana, Nice! My husband's family has the Hoayun Tavern by the Vreeden-Hoop stellin. I'm Dominican so I love learning to make his Guyanese dishes from your very easy to follow videos, living here in Florida, Please keep it up!

Real Nice Guyana 😔 i think i did something wrong to the cookup😩😫😫
O' lord 😀 what did you do now?

🙂Please do, you'll love it.
soooo yummy
nice!
Hi if I want to put chicken inside of it, how do I do that?
You would have to fry the chicken first with some salt , chicken seasoning and black pepper.
For the people who are say its poor people food...here is an explanation:
In India The dish was probably originally eaten for breakfast something similar to the watery rice Chines eat called Congee in the morning. Mar and rice was actually a ting in Guyana. My grandmother sometimes ate it. Which we though was gross
It was also originally for people who we were not well as its mild compared to other dishes
It used to be well know in England going back to the early 1800's
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khichdi
OMG... LOVEEEEEEE👍👍👍❤
♥️♥️♥️
omg.. 😍 that looks soooo good
☺Thanks
I remembered going to my nanie's house every Friday to eat this dish. It's always so delicious. Thanks for sharing I always wanted to know how to make it.
You are welcome.
yummy
All this effort is good for people who don't work.thanks for sharing
It's actually not. You can pressure the split peas to make it go faster, use premade green seasonings, spinach already chopped and canned coconut milk
Yummy
Thanks.
Kitchri is what Indians call peas and rice.Ate this a lot in India.
Can I add chicken to it
Yes you can.
You did not mention the salt and other things at the beginning. Would be great if you could make a list of the ingredients. Did you add another pepper and another ingredient that you did not mention earlier?
I am having trouble because of the quantity of water.
All the ingredients with measurements is always listed in the description box of all our videos .
Please check there, the water used in this recipe is approx 2 1/2 cups
In the video you said 4 cups of water
Happy father's day ☺
🙂Thanks!
Happy Father's Day
🙂Thanks!
Some Cumin seeds with the garlic to chunkey
Cumin is not usually added to Kichri.
Happy father's day
🙂Thanks!
should come out Watery not dry.
Everybody prefers it differently. Some prefer it watery and some prefer it dry
Looks good.. but it's quite different to what we cook back in India..
🙂Yes this has a lot of difference by Country
What's in the video is not what we cook as kitcharee in Guyana...we dnt use coconut milk and secondly we use alot of spice...tumaric, cumin etc...and my grandma was 65 yrs old 20 yrs ago when she thought my mother to cook it...what he is doing there is called shine rice...
What's poi bhagi leaves, any other name for this
It is a popular spinach grown in Guyana and places in that region.
I see elsewhere the Malabar spinach looks like the same.
happy father's day
We didn't need a recipe for this dish in Guyana. just go in the backdam with with a cup of rice and some dhal, and throw in anything you find that's convenient 'round- about! After that meal, no matter if your mother cook korilla and dry shrimps, you will eat it hapilly!
🙂You're right Jane, that is what you call a bush-cook , and it doesn't always turn out great. 🙂🙂
Guys, guys, guys...
can u send your address let me stop by....... that looks so good oh lawd
😄😄😄
Amrita Persaud hello
bidjai biharie hi
Amrita Persaud Looks like he is in Canada.
It's not the traditional way my grandmother use to put okro
Well some people add potatoes too, did your grandmother added that too ? . The more ingredients you add does not make it more traditional, it was a low cost meal poor people made with only the peas and rice and whatever seasonings was available.
That is what is 'traditional' about this dish.
It look like rice pudding lol
Propa food
What is Poi Bhaji? I am not Guyanese
It is also called Malabar Spinach and is usually sautéed but is also popularly used this way in our Khichdi and Cook-up Rice dishes as well.
@@RealNiceGuyana Oh. Is it not the usual spinach. Never heard of Malabar Spinach. I guess I can use any type of spinach.
Yes you can use any type only this one is popular in Guyana and tastes better than the others.
That is poor man food
Ron Persaud thank god u rich!
Food is good rich or poor is still coming out as shit in the end .. might be poor but belly getting full
So much salt high blood pressure
Ron..no it's not
I just came across this comment. I hope you were not being arrogant. This poor man food is so much tastier and healthier than the rich man caviar. Give me this any day!
