I absolutely loved this episode. I love seeing Nyesha and I really love when she has fun, upbeat, authentic, engaging chefs on this program. It feels like they were both having a great time. Honestly, more of this show is needed. Nyesha does such an excellent job!

[@QuieroNadarConNarwhl]

Nyesha is such a good host! And these chefs are so cool that y'all have been highlighting. So down to earth and doing awesome things in their restaurants

[@biofan45]

Lots of vibing between the chefs here makes for a great viewing experience and the food looks awesome!!

[@cpp8227]

Love this series with Nyesha! More please!

[@mammontustado9680]

I love this one. They both looked like they had so much fun. And Nyesha is incredibly charming and beautiful. Definitely one of the best episodes. Keep em coming!

I don't want to offend anyone but this style of cooking is more prevalent in northern and eastern India. That spice mix is called "Paanch puran". It is used mostly in north and eastern part of India. Also most people moved to Trinidad and west indies were from north and east India. Trinidad has highest bhojpuri and maithili speaker outside India. Southern Indian cooking is more coconut based. Spices contains cloves, cardamom, cinnamon, curry leaves etc.

[@tomhinds14]

Stop being so offensive

[@scratchkitchenmeatery4905]

Didn’t she acknowledge that the dish originated in India?

[@heryantopecel]

I was so offended by what you just said man

[@redactedredacted8434]

@@scratchkitchenmeatery4905 She did say where the dish was from. This guy is just being offensive.

[@josephsofaer841]

Yeah genetics show that the Indians taken to the Caribbean were Central Indians (Bihar, UP, MP, Chattisgarh), not North or South Indians.

[@keshhan6412]

As a Indo-Trini I'd say this lady re-invented the goat roti, I really like the use of paratha instead of dhal puri, and the use of the slaw too. Looks like the best roti I'll ever have.

[@ritwikbhattacharya1333]

You guys became friends after this. Being an Indian from india, loved what you did

“They see me roti” haha I love her !! This is not the first video I see her singing comment, I love it! Keep it up!!!

This looks so good it actually makes me sad I am nowhere near the restaurant.

Hopefully you have a local Caribbean restaurant in your area you can try!

[@aaronburratwood.6957]

I thought y’all coordinated your outfits. Just a happy lil thing the way it worked out. 🎃

[@captainzaak]

We make curried goat different here in Trinidad and Tobago, but this surely looks like it hits those tastebuds hard

[@tv0562]

This is a place where Korean pepper is grown. Thank you for the video. I wish you happiness and good health.

[@UnitedCuisines]

Learning through food: thanks for the little history lesson, didn't know that there is an Indian diaspora in the Caribbean's. Roti-Burrito looks great!

[@kidathi]

Y'all ladies are beautiful and your chemistry is amazing, Rashida 😍😍😍, love your bubbly personality. You two should probably host a cookout together while Nyesha is there. Love you guys, roti and chapati are staples in East Africa, much love from 🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪we love goat too.

Looks sooooo YUM!!! I usually have meat with Pickled Salted Pork Powder. I will try your method next time!😍

[@annettecaitlyn1058]

So I read the title & saw LA Bridgetown!!! And I was like waaaait. Does she mean in referece to Barbados. I am from Barbados. Goat is more commonly eaten/known as a Jamaica favourite altho Barbadians do like it also.

[@navneetnarayanan2177]

At 00:26, she says "we're gonna make paratha rotis". That's like saying "we're gonna make bread breads". A paratha and a roti are almost the same, except paratha is finished off in a pan and roti is finished off on the flame.

[@june_keke]

Omg! No one never not loves her!!! And that food looks for freakin’ goood!!! 🤤🤤🤤

Also this is just like how my grandma taught me to make buss up shut roti, except we tuck the bottom of the cone before pushing in the tip 😍

[@charlesmills6621]

This looks delicious, as long as it's not 4-alarm spicy hot. How can I adjust the heat level?

[@MissHoneyOnline]

It really just depends on how much Chili powder you add to your curry blend. The rest of the seasonings are more flavour spices rather than heat.

Holy goat that looks sooooo dang tasty. Yummo

[@leonhardable]

"I use four flours" proceeds to show the one that shows up as first result on google with that recipe and all purpose 😐

[@dexjay7975]

Too much flour dries out the roti you need to brush it down with melted butter

[@TheFalser]

East Indies, roti means bread

[@Ram-fw8zw]

That is definitely not a Roti or Paratha. That most likely resembles a Chapati. But again, Chapati is made from wheat flour. Why do you add Chicken feet stock on to your goat curry? Chick feet stock, really?

[@marchelletillman1678]

Because there is no one recipe to anything she said it is her " twist" that means she is the "artist" to that recipe. No two artist make the same painting a now two cooks put the same spice or measurements. I hope this gives you a better insight.

[@glenbeharry5505]

This is definitely NOT how Caribbean people make Roti.

[@christopherrouseau7660]

🇹🇹.

[@IdatoriYO]

Heheh

[@CurtisCT]

I thought roti was supposed to be flaky?

[@NikZ500]

Roti is a wheat flatbread so rolled with a rolling pin but Paratha is flaky which is made from refined flour and shreded into flakes

[@CurtisCT]

@@NikZ500 I had roti the last time I was in Jamaica, and it was flaky and very delicious. From what I understand a large part of Jamaican cuisine was influenced by Indian indentured servants who started arriving there in the 19th century.

[@furybongo3635]

Watch the movie burn to see what really happened to the black slaves in the sugar fields that tried to revolt.
