She's a human scale just like my gran. 😁 They make all the time-consuming traditional dishes look so easy. Thanks for preserving these practices.

[@dhirajshah4933]

We Indians in East Africa have the same way of making Saheena .instead of putting in the fridge we steam cook then deep fry. With baigan and potatoes it's the same recipe. That was great to share something across the continents. God bless grand ma 🙏💥💯 Happy Diwali

[@wendyramkissoon2017]

I really love how nanny remembers every thing ,step by step ..her memory really sharp. .... great job nanny and thank you all for another wonderful video ❤️.

[@donna-mariesamuel8141]

Hear na!!! I'm in love with these vlogs. Real trini food from real people. The authenticity in this is out of this world. Keep documenting this!!!

[@yvonnesomar4620]

That chutney looks yummy!

[@julies48a]

Nanny, Granny, Nana's are the best. I felt her love for you. Cherish her, My Granny taught me to cook also. Thanks for sharing.

[@iamsirjeff]

I love this, such a blessing to watch two generations connect over food.

[@annakhan1868]

Nanny needs her own show. Gonna try to make this for my dad it’s his favorite

[@geanawattiebhajan120]

Love how Nanny show you step by step. She is so lovely and have so much patience to share her receipe with us

[@jdanielleuc]

I would be in the kitchen with Nanny everyday all day learning her craft! ❤️❤️❤️ that kitchen confidence is EVERYTHING!!!

[@MohiniLata-md1mh]

In Fiji we call it SAINA. In terms of ingredients we use yellow split peas and urdi dhal paste and liitle rice flour, salt, garlic paste , dry toasted zeera powder, tamarind paste, pinch of tumeric powder , besan , and dalo leaves. We don't use normal flour nd corn flour. Nd b4 frying we STEAM the roll nd then we cut it to slices nd deep fry it. Fiji Indians love it.

[@Rosemoon938]

Yes here in India also, we never use all purpose flour and corn flour to make this recipe, which is called Patrode. Most states in India make their own version. The leaves used are Arvi leaves in India. Fiji culture is the closest to India among all Islands where bonded Indian labourers were taken and rehabilitated. 🙏

[@sharinasingh5180]

Interesting this is so different from what I use to seeing how my grandmother made this saheena but again it’s where your ancestors migrated from their are so many different types of cooking style that came from India that our great grand parents brought with them so this is how we recognize the state they came from beautiful cultures we still follow today.

[@TriniMonstera]

True, I grew up with my grandmother chipping up the leaves and mixing it in the flour/dhal mix.

[@sushilashukla1289]

Love from South Africa.

[@dorothyporter7717]

I love this video. You young lady know how precious your granny is, she is a special one, I enjoyed the companionship and the wonderful recipe. Thank you.

[@risharoop2092]

I grew up with your nanny and great grandmother will try your measurements remember the best yam pie every time they had Satsang proud of you embracing your culture give your Nanny my love tell her John sister Risha .

[@eflores62]

The most beautifull part of the video is grandauther learning and making memories with grand mother, it also brings memories on my mother in law.

[@Yulawa1]

You are blessed and lucky to have a grandma. Be Grateful and cherish every moment and thank you for sharing your grandma receipt. 👍

[@cisclineminguell2131]

I love watching you grandma cook.. she's awesome

[@trinimassive33]

@eatahfood I know I've said it before but THIS VIDEO!!!! reminds me as a young boy watching my grandmother 👵 cook...oh how I miss 😢 her. But this video with her grandmother....oh man the memories. Please, please 🙏 keep videos like this coming especially like this along with the others...I know I'm living in Maryland but these videos is what make me go back to my childhood...the best memories 💓 thank you so much!!

[@eatahfood]

Will definitely try to produce more stuff like this going forward. So glad that you enjoyed and that it could bring back memories. 🖤

[@smmta1817]

I absolutely love rolled saheena. Love the taste of that dasheen bush. If i had a nan like this I would live in the kitchen with her and document her knowledge

[@mrshonestopinion]

I've made the before and itched like crazy, so thank you Nanee for telling us about adding lime to prevent that. Don't skip that lime guys. Very important.

[@larrydiljohn6414]

Saheena looks very delicious! It’s good that the grandmother can pass on the tradition to her grand daughter!

[@roysam2710]

Salaam and Namaste. I have eaten this more then 40 years ago. My mom could make this. It's Yammy. Greetings from the Netherlands.

[@Magajarhead1775]

It is a beautiful video! And the food looks delicious! It is commendable that you are learning these recipes and sharing with your grandmother! Enjoy everyday with her! God bless!

[@grovebai0723]

God bless you Grandma love from Toronto Canada 🇨🇦. And Guyana 🇬🇾 🙏 ❤

[@skinnydee1886]

I always make two kinds of saheena. One is like this where I rolled out the whole leaves and paste them. The other one, I'd chop the leaves into thin strips and mix it into the batter and then fry; I'm sure that Nanny also knows about this. I love saheena with mango or tamarind chutney. I also love saheena cooked like curried fish with a little gravy; it looks and taste just like fish! I enjoyed this video; thanks to you and granny; God bless you both🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@HistoryRepeats101]

Thanks for the suggestion with the strips. Never learned to cook Trinidad food but love in moderate quantities and was thinking about these as I just bought fresh organic kale, but realize I don’t have any of those flours.

[@lauramcntsh]

Love saheena. Finally a recipe and someone making it from scratch. The saheena that some places are selling these days is not like the traditional ones, it hardly have dasheen bush in it. I see why now, it's a lot of work. Excellent job

[@adaysrapsey2332]

I really enjoyed seeing both of you working together. You all looked so nice!

[@cisclineminguell2131]

Gran was really good, her memory was on point. Love this video

[@sharinasingh5180]

This can stay in your freezer for 6 months. And I have learned how to wrap this without breaking. Amazing thank you kindly. I need the recipe. Potatoes typically East Indian style.

[@aliyahali8934]

great video...love the authenticity

[@martinlayne5612]

My God mother, God rest her soul, used to make this. I haven't eaten this in decades. Love the video. Brings back memories ;-)

[@rambassiyasmith6746]

This brought back so many beautiful memories, I left home Trinidad long ago and never retutned.

[@nadansami1810]

U are so lucky lots of love to Grandma!!

[@saraswatiebitna1916]

Wow! It been like forever!!! I have not had one of these. Really nice video. Loved it!😊❤. Brought back so many fond memories. Thank you.👍🏼

[@vickiesharma417]

[@4bajanvincies]

Never heard or seen before but i love it that is something i will try when i go to my home conutry thank you for sharing.

[@chrisalmartin5567]

I loved this...your Nanny is a boss!!!

[@roseannaallen2440]

Yes, you are blessed to still have your nanny with you. This looks so good, I can taste it just looking at this video. I’m serious, my mouth is watering 🤤. I ate this some years back at my Trini friend’s puja. I enjoyed it. Thanks to you and nanny, I now have the recipe. I live in New York, might be a challenge to get taro bush…can I use regular poi baggies. I absolutely love taro leaves. I haven’t had that in years either. This brings back a lot of memories. You and nanny make an excellent team. Blessings🙏🏽🙏🏽❤️💕

[@RicardoOedietram]

My nanie used to make this and reminds me very much when I see how you love your nanie. Around me I nobody makes ‘zaihana’ because of too much work... Give your nanie big hug and you thumbs up for making and sharing ❤️ 🙏

[@eilatanreprah2799]

Beautiful , seeing a grandmother passing down recipes and skill to a willing grand daughter, love to see more recipes from you and Nanny. Do a recipe book together.

Love the bonding time

[@anastasiamathura5401]

Thank for sharing this amazing recipe

[@RomaDass]

Looks so yummy. I agree the rolled saheena is so much better. Watched with my daughter (7), she said she want to grab some through the screen.

[@jamilabennett6048]

Love this!!

[@mshaik435]

Wow I love this and looks absolutely delicious. I grew up eating all three of these things and it looks so divine. Thanks for the amazing recipe naniji🙏🏼♥️. Love you guys.

[@junecox8274]

Thanks for sharing your knowledge with your family looks tasty

[@preetambeeharry]

I ate this very long ago - cooked by my Mata di. Really love it and thank u for these nice memories. Greetings from Mauritius.

[@KP-cj3gv]

Nani (Grandma) picked the small center taro leaves. If you have a bit bigger ones that's ok too. However, the big difference in ours is we steam it after wrapping it up in the rolls. That way ALL the leaves have cooked through. Then sliced and deep fried. It truly is a yummy dish and you need to have time to fix it.

[@ezchef9778]

Thanks granny for sharing great job

[@soniakhan3592]

Omg so I’m Fijian Indian and we make saheena too.!! It’s made pretty much the same way and that potato’s and baigun fritters too.!! Coolies cook the same way

[@alt-w7130]

Some people would say that it messy work, but in order for something to taste so good it's not messy.

[@karenfridie689]

I love, love Saheena. I ate it twice in Chaguanas. Next time I come home, I will definitely travel to Tableland and visit you guys, especially to meet the star, Nani. She reminds me of my mom.

[@rajeshbhoyrub5655]

Wow this cake looks great , i got this vegetable in my garden ... im going to try it ... thks for sharing

[@nicolenarrsingh998]

My nanny was real traditional..but I didn't get any of these recipes from her.. Mango chutney was one of my fav.with dawl.. pumpkin tackari to name a few..I've had Gul gulla which we eat at Christmas time.. Roti is my🍲♥️

[@lylinbest948]

Goodday Nanee and granddaughter. Great collaboration, this version of saheena looks amazing, i didn't grow up with this snack but with all the recipes on utube i think i would enjoy it,that tamarind sauce looks boss.Chef enjoy the time with Nanee and record recipes.. So thumbs up to all keep safe.

[@sushilashukla1289]

We make it differently. We add a little more spices. After rolling. We steam slice and fry. Eat sandwiched in between 2 puris with ketchup. Yummy. Love from South Africa

[@christinacastillo6180]

[@dianahanuman964]

Grandma so happy

[@carlenemorgan8755]

Oh boy those look delicious 😋

[@squishykrishy_]

Massy Stores keep this duo!

[@annemariecandyflip6531]

Cooking Sahena/Sahina....that's quite an old Hindostani recipe 🙂 I made it once and I like the technique. I love Sahina but the Surinamese Hindostani people don't make Sahina a lot; it's considered old fashioned. I'm Dutch and I cook a lot Suriname-style, especially roti and gosh in masala. Have fun cooking together with your nani/adji!🔪 Love from The Netherlands🌍

[@salmagulam5905]

Hi very nice we do the same way but then we steam it cool cut then fry

[@geetaseeram7646]

Thank you nanny and pretty girl for that delicious rolled up sahena never know how to make it like that i will try it

[@sharonhanna6783]

Hey guys I am a Trinidadian and I live in the usI want some of your sahina it looks so good

[@enkelbells3156]

lovely , my mother in law from Trinidad , would make the vegatarian like you make and white sardine or zalm fish mix the past . usally devali the vegetarian en holi with mix sardine fish

[@simlamaharaj1695]

Awesome video. Reminded me of my Aaji rolling the patha. We call it patha in South Africa n eat it between 2 puris. But here we steam it first ; then freeze or fry after cooling it down.

[@judekhan1114]

My favorite

[@ummisspace6627]

We call it patta n eat with puri. Ur nani is so sweet 🤗

[@Newagetec]

In India we make it by steaming it, and fry later, call it patra, aluvadi, or patrode, depending on the state, area in india it is prepared on. Awesome to see u cook it with your nani

[@rashikagovindasamy8258]

In South Africa we call it patha. We also steam and then fry it. We serve it between 2 pooris and call it poori patha

[@Cookinggvlogss]

VERY NICE Thanks for share JAZAKALLAHA khair 🌹🌹🌹🌷🌷❤🤗🤗

[@aralumalligepaakashaale]

Delicious

[@TSan2511]

Wished i had a granny like her

[@Rosemoon938]

In India, we call it Patrode, and we use only chickpea flour with different green plus dry spices. It's super delicious and made almost in every state of India. Never heard this renaming of the dish to Sahina with all purpose flour..😮

[@robterm6508]

Saheena is awesome, nice Trinidad food just like the fine ladies on the island.
