[@marlenemorris9838]

D bush tends to scratch the back of your throat if you don’t wash them well, hence the lime

[@nadiamungal8653]

Lovely 🖐

[@JennaGTheHijabiTT]

thanks!

[@aaronmohammed9250]

What if you dont have lime?

[@annettekelli8074]

My mom never used yeast, is that something new??

[@lordmidnite3867]

What is the purpose of washing with lime?

[@deev2473]

@Lord Midnite you wash the dasheen bush with lime so it doesn't scratch your mouth when eating the saheena

So. Good. Better. Than. The. Sisters

[@grosisletvendorassociation7329]

Can other favourite leaves be used?

[@JennaGTheHijabiTT]

You can try it with spinach. I know someone who did and loved it

[@ienmel]

I was wondering why you wash the dasheen with lime? I’m only asking because I learned how to make this from my mom but she never did that step so I was wondering if there was any particular reason behind it..

[@tiresethomas7110]

That's so it won't scratch

[@ienmel]

Tirese Thomas I’ve seen that said in a couple other videos and I’ve done it with out that step forever and never had that problem I’m wondering how...

[@Vixen28...]

Can I use Chana powder?

[@JennaGTheHijabiTT]

Yea you can!

[@mrscashmorrisey1702]

I'm going to try this but I'll use spinach since I don't always get the dasheen bush where I live.

[@JennaGTheHijabiTT]

Lovely!

[@nellylove2903]

Can I use patchoi?

[@leishg115]

What can u use to make with the stems?

[@JennaGTheHijabiTT]

Hmm... I use some when I’m making these but I usually throw them out after🤔🤔 never really thought of using them

[@wendyramkissoon2017]

Hi Jenna can you do a recipe on saheena with the curry sauce..added to it .thanks

[@JennaGTheHijabiTT]

Hey Wendy, are you talking about the chutney to eat the saheena with?

[@wendyramkissoon2017]

[@bijoydasudiya]

@@JennaGTheHijabiTT Chutney is eaten raw whereas the curry is boiled after tampering.

[@yasminkhan256]

[@JennaGTheHijabiTT]

Hi Yasmin, all recipe links are provided in the description boxes of the videos. Here is the link for this one: jennagthehijabitt.com/2018/10/29/saheena-type-1/

[@rdstobbart]

This is more like the indian phulorie or bhajia. We would use spinach, cabbage, onions. More traditional saneena is rolled, steamed then fried.

[@JennaGTheHijabiTT]

Very interesting!

[@tonicaangel]

We know there's a traditional version ... this is how some people prefer to eat it in TRINIDAD rather than the rolled version

[@spicylifevlogs8355]

Strange to see muslim hijab in Trinidad...... previously it was indian vs black now we have a seperate grp called pakistani asian muslims 😂😂😱😱

[@dumbfrap88]

We call it a pakora or a fried fritter :) thanks for making Pakistani food

[@praimnathsankar5658]

What kind of leaf do you use in Pakistan to make this this?

[@dumbfrap88]

Praimnath Sankar hi! My mom loves to use spinach in her recipe but you can use your favorite :)

[@bijoydasudiya]

@@dumbfrap88 Use dasheen leaves and besan. You can add tamarind juice and jaggery instead of lime juice and sugar.

[@mohinidasi9357]

The leaves are called Taro leaves
