Kaloungie | Stuffed Bitter Melon - Episode 346

[@Fikarrajaii]

Hi Natasha, just wanted to say thank you for making this channel. I've learned alot from your videos. Very rarely do I get home cooked Trini food, but now that I am making it myself I can have a taste of home any time I want. I'm making fried carailee tonight per your recipe. I live in South Florida and don't get back to Trinidad very often, but now I can make so many of the wonderful dishes I grew up on. Thank you so much!

Hi Natasha, You made this recipe exactly like my mother's own with the green mango. The mango is the most edible, and appitizing to eat with dhaal, and rice. Compliments to you. Thanks.

[@karminiparsan9256]

This is great! I haven't seen it made this way in a looong time..brings back memories Nowadays people make only the cut up kind. Thanks for the video👌👍

[@lakbaskh]

I add the shrimp in the stuffing .Its really good.

[@sapphiresingh4474]

Hi Natasha ,lovely recipe the only thing I did differently was steam mines first before stuffing it

[@shaheedahamilton5443]

My mom would remove the seeds from the meat you scooped out from the center of the carailli and combine it with the homemade kuchela. She would then stuff the carailli which she had parboiled, with the mixture Then she would shallow fry the stuffed carailli like you did. It was delicious!

[@deborahmohammed8184]

Yes you supposed to steam it a bit to take out some of the bitterness and also rub it with some black masala so it gives it a crisp and color

[@estherpersad4155]

Looks delicious, I have try it with the shrimp , but I cook my season cut up shrimp with curry powder , saffron, anchar masala, couple of tamarind seeded and cut into small pieces I use my hands to get everything out of the tamarind, garlic,onion, tomatoes. Salt to taste, parsley, chive, let cool then stuff karylie and fry, it's really delicious , hope this is something you'll like to try👍

[@rosamundakajessiejulien8994]

🙏 hello this is what I've been looking for a long time. My husband grandmother made this but never paid attention 🙈 But I grew up in Surinam where I learnt to stuff it with meat and then stewed down in a tomato sauce. It's delicious also 😊

[@anuschkabaktawar6017]

great video Natasha. I also love stuffed bitter melon. I always stuff mine with ground chicken. also I blanch the bitter melon. by doing that it takes away the bitterness since my kids do not like it to be too bitter.

[@TriniCookingwithNatasha]

Anuschka Baktawar yes that's true I did mention that, thank you.

[@user-ds5fr6ob3i]

OMG I haven't had this in forever !!! Childhood memories for me !!! I grew up eating this with shrimp inside. ☹️ So u putting kuchella or achar inside your karila .. 🤔

[@trevlonramdass228]

I use geera pork and kutcela to make the stuffing tasted really nice

[@spawaroo]

I'm Guyanese too and I only know of stuffed curried shrimp. Ive never seen it stuffed with mango, that's different.

[@michellejagmohan5163]

Hi Natasha,this goes well when cooked in coconut milk and allowed to fry with the same coconut oil once reduced 😁

[@colletteyeeloy4235]

I made this some time ago using leftover mixture for saheena. It was really delicious.

[@dahlia2057]

Yummy! I had this a long time ago. I have never made it. I will definitely try it. Thanks again Natasha for sharing.

[@sandy-k1n]

[@TriniCookingwithNatasha]

sandra kitwana thank you. I'm not a fan but it was requested so I had to do it.

[@savitrirampersad5600]

This look goog. I am going to make it for diwali.

[@arunaslien]

Natasha...I am living all your tutorials!!! I do have a question...I live that you suggested the green apple...would I have to squeeze the water out as well..before stuffing it???

[@shidekhan3314]

I love that recipe

[@veshmahlalwah334]

havent had this in sooo long i feel you read my mind. i was tlking to taste of trini only a few days ago about this. yum great job have a gd day

[@TriniCookingwithNatasha]

Veshmah Lalwah this was requested recently and I had them on hand so decided to do this video.

[@sajidahali-ohab4642]

Only recently learnt about this dish, and you made it exactly how my dad told me it's made. Was wondering, been using a steam fryer for vege that require alot of oil to cook, so therefore using less oil with the steam fryer as a healthier option (the Karilee gets crispy). Thinking about trying this with pommecythere cuchilar or curried shrimp...and curried shrimp tastes best dried (concentrated flavour) :)

[@TriniCookingwithNatasha]

Sajidah Ali-Ohab sounds great.

[@user-vu6wl7iq1q]

U can put .ince chicken an cook it down with coconut milk

[@susanram4339]

I had it with shrimp girl delicious

[@aaudain1]

I love that veg, they call it bitter melon here, but I am Trinidadian, and we call it carallie,

[@renaalli6850]

U can put shrimps. ...chicken or fish any meat of your choices.

[@TriniCookingwithNatasha]

rena Alli yup.

[@veshmahlalwah334]

Candice Vasquez its mostly used as an appitizer but you can have it with dhal n rice or make sandwiches as well

[@skeetadean5868]

[@GoranMak]

[@TriniCookingwithNatasha]

[@estersooknanan9939]

[@TriniCookingwithNatasha]

[@shelly-annali1102]

hi natasha trying to email you but it keeps bouncing back...anyways i wanted to know if nestle cream would be good to use in an alfredo dish

[@TriniCookingwithNatasha]

Shelly-Ann Ali I've never tried it before but it's a little thicker consistency so u may have to thin it with whole milk.

[@shelly-annali1102]

Ok i will try it...thnks much
