Baigan Choka - The Best Eggplant Dish In The World? 🍆

[@StClair111]

Baigan choka, fry plantain and sada roti - my favourite rainy day comfort food. Thank you chef 🤎

[@eatahfood]

Yes!!!

[@lylinbest948]

Hi Badawi, great take on baigan choka. I enjoy raw onions drizzled with hot oil at the end. Can't wait for Flatbread recipe. Keep safe

[@eatahfood]

Thanks Lylin. Taking notes for when next I try it. Keep safe as well

[@itsok7370]

Those enamel plates bring back so many comfort food memories. Dish looks great. Keep it up.

[@Trynage93]

Your authenticity to real trini recipes is amazing! Respect, thank you for keeping genuine methods around for us who moved away from home to still enjoy!! Big up! Waitin for that doubles recipe now...🤔

[@eatahfood]

You're most welcome and thank you for the kind words! Truly appreciate it

[@lilylovely007]

Fantastic!! You did really well in getting out most of the flesh. I agree with you that a few pieces of the charred skin is totally fine. 🙂 I rub a little oil on the outside of the bhaigan before roasting it. And finish with sliced onions and pepper topped with some smoking hot oil (chunkay).

[@ummsalma7615]

Delicious! I add onion, red or white and olive oil! Try it you will taste what I am talking about! Bread looks delicious too!

[@carloscardona2527]

some thinly sliced onion at the end finished with some vey hot oil over it really makes a difference to this dish. One of my absolute favorites. Looking out for the flat bread recipe

[@jamierattan5094]

For a second I swear I was smelling roasted baigan yes. 🤤

[@AstralPrincess]

Slice some onion finely and top it and pour smoking hot oil on top. Lord have mercy! 😋

[@malisaramkissoon1853]

Was wondering where the onion cause I was Makong this last night and realized I only had purple onion and I cancel that yes.

[@keishaashby8049]

Yes this is the best

[@gillianremy5620]

Absolutely loveeeee bhaigan choka will try it your way

[@williamstrachan7714]

I agree chef!!

[@kryss.4725]

I understand yuh roasted garlic technique eh, but is to chunkay a few cloves and incorporate it at the very end - dat too does give yuh de roasted flavour yuh looking for. I do the roasting of de baigan wit garlic cloves inserted into slits in the skin in tandem with de chunkay, so is around a whole head of garlic i usin, too. Some sliced raw onion in the final mix for a little extra tang really intensifies de flavour. Also, Baidawi, is to sannay eh, wit sada - come nah man, dem kinna pocket sandwich ting eh fuh ting like baigan choka!😳

[@LisaX84]

i saute' it in some onions to finish...

[@lystraosborne-martin8427]

I agree. Its d best!

[@Brogoshi]

It really is the best eggplant dish in the world

[@gracewhiteman2054]

Love it. I agree it is the best in the world.

[@tonietchison1730]

Thank you for cooking food that I don’t know how to cook in America.

[@janejulien9250]

Appreciate this recipe..Thankyou

[@nabilahsan]

We do a similar thing but we add red chilis, mustard oil, and onions.

[@eatahfood]

Sounds delicious. Will definitely try those additions.

[@nabilahsan]

@@eatahfood mustard oil in moderation though. Very overpowering. In other news I just grabbed some eggplant from my garden so gonna try this tonight.

[@eatahfood]

@@nabilahsan ooooh nice! hope you post to social media and tag us! :) happy cooking!

[@karminiparsan9256]

The BESS!!. I also like to roast both the pepper and garlic in the baigan itself. To get the flesh I slit the entire length and use a spoon to scoop out the flesh. Whenever we use the grill, I roast baigan and garlic over the coals. Mmhmm can't get it better😄... Nice Monday evening meal with a little avocado or fry plantain at the side👍👍👍

[@eatahfood]

Next time I make it, I'm going to add the garlic and pepper on the inside just to see what results I get. Love this dish!

[@amber3171]

Beautiful! I have to try this. I want to make that Turkish bread so bad but I can't knead flour Le sigh! Dawi, have you ever considered offering an online bread-making course?

[@eatahfood]

A few people have expressed interest in a bread making class... so its something I'm definitely open to. But trust me, you can make this Turkish bread... it real easy. But I'll keep you posted on the classes.

[@amber3171]

@@eatahfood I don't trust yuh but I'll give it a try...And yes keep me posted!

[@babyb23518]

Gotta try this

[@riaramgoolam4069]

If u rub oil all over the baigan before u roast it then it will be easier to peel the skin off

[@eatahfood]

Ahh. Thanks for that tip!

[@lennoxgrant5810]

That's how I know it, plus some onions sauted in a little oil

[@riaramgoolam4069]

@@eatahfood also u can finely chop 3 leaves of bandania it adds a nicer kick to it

[@Husiff]

Lard, just looking at this got me hungry, lol Excellent work, never saw anyone did the garlic like this, but I am sure thats good stuff, feel this is what I am having later.

[@Marie-vv8zz]

This looks sooo good , simple tasty!!! Keep up with great work!

Hi you can add onion also it gives it a nice flavor

[@michaelsamaroo3380]

Thank you

[@leslieannclement6985]

Some roasted tomatoes and smoke herring with that and sada roti is one of my favorite way to baigan

[@sexysacha5847]

That voice with that video.. perfect combination 😉

[@abigailsampson3512]

OMG I make my bake similar to yours for my baigan choka as well 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@80sherryann]

Yummy

[@arlenaf.3503]

Very nice.

[@daniellelove3738]

Big up too you cause I can't touch raw pepper cut up so with my bare hands especially scorpion pepper

[@lifeisablessing247]

One of my favorite dish. 😍

[@j.n.l0713]

That Turkish bread is my go to all the time!

[@27thAve]

1. How can I tackle this if I don't have a gas stove? 2. The 8:10 mark hahahahahaha "MMHMM" 3. I think this video has more *mmhmm* than any other video!

[@eatahfood]

That was an editing mistake! Lol but it works haha! Hm, the best thing would be to use the broiler in your oven to try to get the roasted effect.

[@seygra20]

Only way I eat eggplant. Flame roasted baigan. ....not the oven roasted bagin.

[@reshmagopaul6113]

This is the easiest dish I ever know, yummy

[@davidsingh7925]

Yeah man...ah like looking at your style of cooking.....a little tip....when yuh finish roast the baigan....use a knife and slit it straight down the middle then open it ..it will be easyer to remove and you will get much more...and yes the best

[@linj4168]

👍👍

[@camilledwarika8207]

Mouth watering I love bigan Choka...but yuh forget to chunkay the thing with oil lol try adding onions too best tasting you won't regret it ...hurry with that fancy roti recipe

[@eatahfood]

I'll do an updated recipe soon!

[@vake506]

Cuz, absolutely bigan choka and oil roti are my favorite breakfast dish. I just subscribe to your channel. 🇬🇾🇬🇾🇬🇾🇬🇾

[@mamawiichhangte1157]

If it was me, i will put at least 3 pcs peppers😂😂

[@wendylackhan6958]

Add the onions

[@hasupoetry]

Some persons hot oil and mix with the choka

[@hasupoetry]

Another way is to cut in half and scoop out the flesh instead of peeling

[@tashez]

baigan is not a favourite of mine ...tastes like nothing to me (like avocado) and the texture is a turn off. I'd try this but I don't have a gas stove so that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it! lol

[@gisellesalazar8400]

Yummy
