Picking and Cooking Saijan Bhaji (Moringa Leaves)

As requested by one of our awesome subscribers: Saijan Bhaji
In this video, we will be showing the process of making our original Berbice learned style Saijan bhaji also known as moringa leaves. Later into the video, we enjoyed it with dhal, rice, and mango chutney. Be sure to watch until the end.

The bagie looks good! My Gran would use the sigan, pumpkin, churai and broad leaf all together to make the dish. I thought we were poor but that was the sweetest dish I ever had to date.

[@GTMusketeers]

Wow that is really is amazing! Appreciate you sharing that. It really is a gift from Mother Nature. Delicious.

What causes the bitterness. I try cook it twice and both time was bitter.. Thanks for sharing. Looks delicious. Will try again.

[@GTMusketeers]

I think it’s just a bitter plant in general. I always wash and really squeeze it out really good.

This is a delicious and wonderful sighan baghi. Sigan baghi with shrimp 🍤 is my wife and children favorite baghi. This sigan baghi is the only thing she wants from Guyana.🇬🇾🇬🇾🇬🇾🇬🇾

[@GTMusketeers]

Wow, she is a simple person but she knows what's good lol. Have a festive holiday week ahead!

[@RR-iq8ze]

I am curious if it is possible to wash them while they are still on the stem and let them dry, instead of washing them when they are so fine.

[@dropatieechaitoo5946]

That is the best bagie to eat.

[@GTMusketeers]

It sure is. Very sweet and delicious.

I never had this before but I heard it's very delicious with shrimps. Like you, I am from West Coast, Vreed-en-Hoop, we also had the tree but only used the sigan not the leaves. I have to try this sometime if I do get the leaves. Thanks for sharing.

@@GTMusketeers I I live in Las Vegas. Like you I lived at Cornelia Ida on the west coast. My mom never cooked the leaf. Like you said the Berbician who figured out that the leaf is edible... it is not available here. But when I go to NY. I will try to get some. Be safe ❤️

[@b.siddharth6528]

I want to know if saijan mango and katahar grow all over the year in Guyana

[@GTMusketeers]

I am not sure about Guyana, but I would think so since it's tropical weather year-round. For us here in Florida it depends on the season for harvesting.

[@radhalachman4189]

Looks delicious 😋 My friend in Orlando cook it and send it for my husband who is also from Berbice. I am from Essequibo, we don't know about the bagee lol

[@GTMusketeers]

It was so good, you should give it a try

[@radhalachman4189]

@@GTMusketeers, will do when we visit after the pandemic. We are in Orlando a lot, my friend got 2 trees 🌳 we will move back in a five more years for retirement. Can't wait.

[@Shameeza]

I'm from Georgetown, I know about Saijan but I don't know about saijan bagee leaves. It looks good, would definitely like to try it.

[@GTMusketeers]

Yes, same never knew about it until I married and moved to Berbice. Please do try it, it's amazing!

[@Bibi-xn5rn]

Please add coconut milk.

[@GTMusketeers]

Please watch again. Coconut milk was added. You must have missed when she was pouring it in.

I never know you can eat that????😳😳

Really! You must try it! It is so good and lots of health benefits.

[@bibibacchus8534]

@@GTMusketeers I like Sijan I eat it in the hassa curry however I am in ny so I do not think we can get the leaves to buy here. I buy the frozen sijan from the store keep posting your videos you are doing a great job❤️

[@GTMusketeers]

@@bibibacchus8534 I see, whenever you come back to FL you have to try it or whenever you get access to it. Thank you so much, much appreciated!

[@vishnudanraj2570]

That bagie with dhall looks so delicious but when you were in berbice didn't your I inlaws teach you also if you Sanie & eat with bear hand the food is going to taste much nicer

[@GTMusketeers]

Thank you very much. I actually used the sanie method prior to moving to Berbice. You’re correct it makes the food much much better.

[@colorreview7390]

WOW!!! TERRIFIC VIDEO. LOVE EVERY PART OF IT. MAKING ME HUNGRY

[@GTMusketeers]

Thank you very much!

[@sitamohess3935]

Just curious - why didn't you wash the leaves before chopping then?

[@GTMusketeers]

This is the way I was taught by my husband’s family in Berbice. We don’t like it with too much of the bitterness. I’m sure everyone does it in their own way to best fit their needs. Thanks for asking.
