Sister. Your videos are super simple to follow. Though we make kitchri differently in Fiji, almost all of the dishes you share are what I grew up with. Right down to the barfi we refer to as Fiji ke barfi. Thank you for sharing such recipes and giving all of us a feeling of home 💜💜💜

+KEISHA WILLIS Lol, wow! Thanks so much for following my recipes!

[@islandgirl3330]

Thanks for the video. We have always cooked this in Trinidad (split peas and rice) and so have my friends and we are not of East Indian descent. I don't know if the people who are saying these are younger people. I am way older than you are and it was always a staple in our home. Everybody I know cooked it. We also put salted pig tails in it. I don't recall us using turmeric and carrots. What we did different was to add the rice after we boiled the peas, pigtails and seasoning with enough water for the rice, so the flavor of the liquid seasoned the rice. If more seasoning was needed, we then added it along with some butter. We did not use all the artificial things like soup mix, etc. We always added some finely diced pumpkin for all cook up rice dishes and stewed peas dishes. Makes a great difference in the texture and taste.

[@billmisir]

Back in the old country of Guyana .... now a distant memory - it was called " cook-up " cooked the old fashioned way . A yum yum staple for vegetarians which I still have with added spinach, okras etc garnished with crispy fried onions.🇬🇧🇬🇧🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷

[@TasteofTrini]

Sounds good!

[@kelle3594]

Your method is new to me but I'm sure it tastes just as good.

[@Spyninjasarethebest]

That looks great we always called it split peas rice you should of leave out the celery and add in cilantro and parsley.

[@TasteofTrini]

Nice! I find the the celery gives it a really distinct flavor..but I will definitely add the parsley and cilantro

[@quincywilliams9258]

Thanks

[@adannaobrady4723]

I have to make this, do u have any tips for if the split peas very hard?

[@TasteofTrini]

+adanna o'brady Hey, if the only thing I can say is to add more water to the pot and let it cook longer, however, it will result with you having extremely over-cooked rice. That's why it's best to boil the split peas well before you add it to the pot. Hope this was helpful.

[@islandgirl3330]

You can try soaking it the night before and using a pressure cooker. I do find that the peas take a very long to get soft these days. They are not like what we used to get before. The only two that cooks quickly are the lentil peas and lime beans.

[@SelectaShawn]

My dad gets pissed when I make this, he calls it poor people food, I call it food I grew up on. Thanks for the recipe!

[@TasteofTrini]

Lol this is good food! He's right though, it was a quick, easy and cheap meal. My mom said her mother would make this for them when they were younger.

[@SelectaShawn]

Yup and fig takari (curried green bananas) as well. Can you do a video of that please :)

[@trisharam3932]

Do u soke the peas overnight pls let me know

Never see they make it like that and am 66 years old i think this is the young gul cooking loi ah did not see she roast the coconut loi

[@singhKJ48]

As you mention Diwali you took me back 60 Years ago when Trinidad Hindu community was 100 % Vaishnava (Worshipers of Vishnu (KRISHNA AND RAMA) The Mothers would put Kagar in the eyes of their daughters, Radha rani and her Gopies would put Kajar in their eyes as a form of beauty. We were reminded of Brindaban (Brinda means Tulsie and ban means a grove. ) There was not a single Hindu family without a Tulsie plant. Around 1980's Indian politicians came to Trinidad and polluted the the religion and place the Shiva Linga and Parbati Yoni and killed Sita and Rama. They introduced Shiviteeism .

Hi..i luv 2 watch u cook but something I can hardly hear wat u are sayin..

[@sarnathkerala8160]

nice but sodium a lot

[@c.i.a2686]

She said East Indian, but she means West Indian -_- lmfo

[@zochbuppet448]

In Trinidad and Guyana it means people of Indian origin. It get confusing no matter what term you use. West Indian means anyone from the English Caribbean countries, which includes Indians

[@kennispowell803]

never seen anyone put soup mix.. we usually add the tumeric to the boiling dhal and use that water to cook the kitchree... then chunkay the pot with fry geer, garlic, hot pepper and curry leaves. this is a super modern recipe. the triditional recipe doesnt have salt butter, celery stalk or bell peppers.

[@TasteofTrini]

Kennis Powell Everyone has their own way of making it. This is how my mom taught me and my grandma makes it this way as well. Your way sounds great as well ☺

[@kennispowell803]

Taste of Trini originally this was a recipe the poor uses to make a meal. Hence the very basic ingredients in the traditional recipe. Overtime i has evolved to using more modern ingredients. Back in the day it didnt have salt butter, soup mix and the likes. The only seasoning was salt, garlic, onion, geera, hot pepper and banania from the yard and coconut milk from the tree outside.. cooking on fire side taste best!!

[@kennispowell803]

I cooking this right now but including ochoro and salt fish for a one pot meal..

[@TasteofTrini]

Kennis Powell Yes so true. I'm sure my grandma cooked it differently when she was younger
