SOUTH TRINIDAD - The Indian ethnic community makes up one of the largest parts of the population of Trinidad and Tobago. Today we’re going on an Indian food tour in South Trinidad - and while many of the foods are Indian in origin and cooking method, they definitely have adapted to become completely unique on their own - Indian Trinidadian food! It’s going to be a delicious day with lots of food and lots of peppa!
Huge thank you to #visitTrinidad for inviting me to Trinidad and Tobago and for making this trip happen! Guide to the things and food in this video: visittrinidad.tt/things-to-do...

Singh's Doubles (goo.gl/maps/JQJENDVPhcEun6KA6) - Debe, Trinidad - Our first stop on this Indian food tour is at Singh's Doubles. The entire town is known for their doubles, something you have to eat when you pass through. However, along with doubles, I was very excited to try something called a Saheena - a wad of taro leaves rolled up with dal flour and deep fried then filled up with curry chickpeas and all sorts of chili pepper sauce. Amazing!
Gewandass Doubles (goo.gl/maps/oNNT9xW7cvpLE1Vz7) - Mosquito Creek, Trinidad - To continue we headed to Gewandass Doubles for their extra spicy “Diamond Doubles.” This might be one of the spiciest doubles you can eat in Trinidad and Tobago, where the barra (fried bread) is actually dipped in chili pepper sauce and a few more pepper sauces are added - there was way more pepper sauce than chickpeas. It was so tasty!
Aunty Doll's (goo.gl/maps/FiAfosUm5av4WbFo9) - Fyzabad, Trinidad - We continued south a little more to Aunty Doll's, a Queen of Indian Trinidadian food! She cooked the traditional way over clay chulhas and open fire and she’s just so cool. She cooked an insanely huge meal that included over a dozen different local Trinidadian dishes and roasted coconut chutney and buss up shut - slapped roti! It was one of the most memorable meals in Trinidad and Tobago - the flavors were incredible, and it was so interesting to see the combination of Indian food and ingredients combined with the green seasoning and flavors of the Caribbean. Makes for an incredible and unique food culture!
CPL Tournament - Finally to complete this day of food in Trinidad and Tobaog, we happened to be there at the time during the CPL cricket tournament. It was so cool to go to a match… and of course eat some more food!
And that completes another incredible day of food in Trinidad and Tobago.

My opinion Trinis make the best Doubles , Sahenas, Aloo Pie, Baigani etc. The Rotis are almost tied but I give my Diamond 💎 Star to Trinidad. I am 🇧🇧 Bajan 🇧🇧 therefore I am not bias.o

As a Ghanaian married to a Trinidadian this series is more than a vlog.. it’s my history lessons from primary school on screen. The transatlantic slave trade, the migration of Indians, as well as the history of the Arawaks and the Caribs is what’s culminated in the very special place and people that is Trinidad and Tobago. The similarities between our people, our culture, the mannerisms and our food is uncanny! And who can forget that infamous trini accent. It’s like music to my ears. Literally haha ❤️.. Well done Mark

You will find this in India. Taro leaves fried with chickpea flour is called "Alu chi vadi" in Maharashtra and Patra in Gujarat but it's served without toppings. The doubles looks like a variation of 'Chole bhature'. Never seen Chataigne before but it looks like Jackfruit. Grilled eggplant is 'Baingan bharta'. Dhal Puri is similar to Puran Poli but the latter is sweetened with jaggery. The Buss up Shut is just like a Kerala Parotta. Trinidad culture is fascinating.

Thanks, Mark. This is a fascinating glimpse into how food from Eastern UP & Bihar might have looked 150 years ago before Indian veg food was inundated with 'Paneer this' and 'Makhani that'! Of course, with many local ingredients. 'Fuluri' and 'bora' are still part of that community's lexicon in India. Aunty even used the word 'phoron' for tempering/tadka, which is common even today in Bihar, Bengal, and UP although with 'panchphoron' (five spices - cumin, mustard, nigella, fennel, fenugreek) and mustard oil. The seeds and flesh of the fruit shown early in the video (shateen?) was cooked with techniques very similar to jackfruit, whose seeds are also enjoyed in India.

Pretty much a vegan version of Sarso maccha and so many kinds of bajkas (fritters) like even botttlegourd - imagine any vegetable turned into a fry . Side note - Western urban world only knows potato Fries and Recently falafel. So many dishes that are disappearing. Think Jackfruit pickle , Local plum pickle , especially the smaller brown ones.

“That’s because on the ship-ride Mauritius was the first pitstop. Indian labourers who could not withstand the harsh ship conditions and long journey stepped off at that point. Some also stopped off at Cape Town SA…the rest carried on and got off in Suriname(Dutch), Guyana and Trinidad… a handful made it all the way to Jamaica and even Martinique (French)…” Above was my reply to Mauritian who also expressed familiarity with Trinis; but if you analyze deeper- the people in Mauritius, SA and so on may actually be blood-related because it was the same ship they were sailing and who knows? Some larger families may have gotten split up due to whatever extreme circumstances they were suffering at that time. And then if you rewind some more then there was another split at the ports in India themselves (Mauritius was the first pitstop on the westerly route, but there was an easterly route to Fiji and other pacific islands taking place at the same time). Hence Fijians claim the same familiarity as Mauritians to the West Indian diaspora; but I believe in many cases they most likely have direct blood relation and familial ties. A look at the surnames is very telling; many are similar with very slight variations, but you can blame the British ship captains for that inconsistency as the names were too complicated for them and they didn’t really care (they butchered the surnames and wrote anything that made sense to them on the ship logs which later became official identities of the indentured at their point of disembarkation. That would make an epic story; someone needs to research this Indian diaspora in more detail and make a docu-drama about it with perhaps a reconciliation of two long lost split families after a few generations and thousands of miles of separation)

What a great video, Mark! Always loved the west Indian culture and people. This is probably one of the finest examples of two cultures integrating so well and finding the right balance. As you mentioned, you dont find this kind of food in India as the migrants brought in the style from the 19th century and preserved it as such. It has hence also given a tribal touch to it. Fascinating indeed.

wow Mark this series completely impressed me and also made me feel so nostalgic. Growing up, my dad who moved to Canada from Trinidad took care of most of the cooking in my house. I now realize how close he kept Trinidadian cooking in is heart. You reminded me of foods he used to make for us a kids that I have forgotten about, and you've taken me back to my travels in Trinidad, and inspired me to keep Trini cuisine traditions in my own cooking. Aunties cooking is unmatched. I want to travel to back to Trinidad just to eat and finally visit the island of Tobago. WOW. I've enjoyed this series here on KZbin so so much. Thank you for sharing your passion with the world!!
