Hi Nadi, I just made Bara again with your recipe and enjoying it with the grated mango (gave my masala brick away yrs ago) the fine side of the grater works well!! I didn’t make last time I said I would but just did 😋😋 oops!! 😆🤣 I forgot the Gera (cumin) I just heard you say what u r putting into the mixture lol oh well, I don’t even miss it! Thanks again for a great recipe 👍🏽👍🏽 the taste lingers in one’s mouth 😋 Oh!! I did add a 1/4 teaspoon more of yeast and baking powder this time and it doubled nicely in an hour.

You are so welcome my friend..❤️❤️❤️

[@kalowtienath6955]

can you make the bara with out yeast

[@NadisKitchen1]

Hi Kalowtie, you can absolutely make it without yeast. The yeast usually gets it softer and a bit fluffier.. Thank you.. Happy Holidays!🎄🎄❤️

[@indrajasodrabhadaiaziz1248]

Tried it on 5/30/22 it was delish, great recipe 👍🏽👍🏽 it was done in a flash 😆 I wanted something different so Instead of pound mango 🥭 I grated it on the fine side of the grater and oh boy, it brought back childhood memories and it hit the spot 😋

[@NadisKitchen1]

Reading your comment and just feeling to make some..lol... Guess I will be making some tomorrow. I can almost taste the mango chutney..

[@indrajasodrabhadaiaziz1248]

😆 I will make some myself tomorrow or Sunday hmmmm I can’t wait lol 😋😋

Nice one Nadi. Love that intro music 🎶

You can use oil to dip your hands instead of water

[@NadisKitchen1]

Good idea. You are the second person to give me this advice. Will try it next time.

[@sherrypersaud1921]

U did not show what type of dhall I used is it the one in the pack of fresh dhall ?

[@nandomaraj3571]

She said she ground her own dhal in her spice mill.

[@NadisKitchen1]

Thank you Nando..

[@NadisKitchen1]

Hi Sherry yes, I ground the whole dhall with my coffee grinder..You can use the store bought grind dhall..Most of the Caribbean supermarket carry them.. Thank you so much..

[@fazalhaniff9576]

A little tamarind chutney and a Carib with some bara Good to go sweetie What about some saheena?

[@rabinadookie1817]

Use oil to wet your hands , the oil will not spatter

[@NadisKitchen1]

Good idea.. saw someone did that. Thank you.
