Hey everyone! I'm writing this 3+ years later to tell you that I have updated this recipe. It's still delicious, but more detailed and better visuals and audio 🙂 Thank you so much for watching this video! I appreciate YOU! UPDATED RECIPE VIDEO: kzbin.info/www/bejne/h2fdmGCZoNiHjsU

[@rajeshselvaraj9098]

Hello I am Chef Rajesh. I watching your All Videos. I would like to talk personally regarding. TrinaD culture and Foods please [e-mail]

[@transitionwithtrini1928]

Hey can we do a Collab some time?

[@shaiannewilliams1312]

Best Channa has yellow split peas in it

[@janiceinFL]

For those that posted negative comments, I followed the video, made these last night and they came out wonderful, not even a leftover after my daughter started eating! So apparently, she is def doing something right if she can teach an Irish/English American woman who has never attempted to make these and they came out perfect!!

[@TasteofTrini]

Thank you. Happy to hear they turned out great! Thanks for watching :)

[@whiterosefaith1889]

What happens if I put too much baking soda in the channa? How can dilute it?

[@johndough8219]

If you realize it at the beginning, you can strain off the water and add fresh but if you're at the end, it's probably going to add an off flavor to the channa. Not much you can do at that point except start over.

[@roses4me451]

Thanks for sharing! I love the music also. You're a beautiful indian woman, and I look forward to visiting Trinidad someday.

[@SheldonTJohn]

Hello Taste of Trini! I just made doubles using the recipe you shared. I must say the bara was soft and simply delicious, it was too tasty and just not enough (albeit tripping the recipe ha!). I also did the channa, unlike other recipes, yours did not have onions, garlic and oil. This was kool. I do not live in Trinidad, so it was refreshing to find this recipe provided by you - a humble soft-spoken and generous lady. I urge you to utterly ignore any and all negative comments, for your assistance is much more helpful to those with sense. Have a fantastic day!

[@TasteofTrini]

Hi Sheldon, I appreciate your lovely and kind words. I'm so happy the recipe turned out great and you enjoyed it! I will definitely take your advice, thanks again for the love and support. Have a Happy Thanksgiving (if you're celebrating)!

[@JamericanGir]

Both of my parents are Jamaican so I've never ate doubles before but I've heard of them. I've tried a roti before. I'm giving Jamaican food a break so tired of it and I need to try something new. I'm so glad I came across your channel because I want to try cooking foods from other caribbean islands, thank u so much this looks so good!

[@lornasobers1310]

After 5 years and I made this version of doubles, and hear nah, this is the recipe for me to keep. We made this today and it went in 5 seconds flat. Thank you so much for sharing this is soooooo good. Blessings

[@TasteofTrini]

[@johndough8219]

Ignore the haters and trolls. Their lives are obviously bleak and miserable if they have nothing better to do with their time than spreading hate and negativity. You're doing a great job on your channel. Keep it up. I appreciate you sharing your food culture with the rest of us.

[@aprilwelch2213]

This is the only recipe where my bara has turned out. Thank you for posting!

[@kxp1996]

Ever since my childhood I have loved Indian food we make in Trinidad. Love Indian weddings and enjoyed Divali more than I did Christmas. Doubles was one of those foods I did not understand And took a while before I tried it out. If you grew up in Trinidad in the 80's and 90's where there was a lot more racial, cultural and political tension in T&T you would know what I mean. A kid no more and not susceptible to mo-vay-lang I started eating Doubles and lets say the rest is history. I tell all my international friends,Trinidad and Tobago is where food goes to get its flavour and this recipe is right up there with the best. I love how thorough you are with explaining what you do and why as well as what results to expect. Thanks for sharing!

[@esogod3326]

Omg this is the best doubles recipe on the Internet. That next trini youtube woman trying to be you so bad, but she can't touch you. keep it up..you are awesome!

[@billmisir]

Never had a double .... just the thing for a vegetarian. If ever I have the pleasure to visit Trinidad - that will be a must eat. Thank you. 🌷🌷🌷

[@JeanMobility]

wonderfulll!!!!!!! I am gonna use it right now!!! Greetings from Perú

[@Vincent2wice]

As much as I want to comment "Omg delicious recipe", I can't. Because you already know ALL your recipes are delicious and authentic!👍

[@TasteofTrini]

Lol thanks a lot!!

[@amandip.s.parmar]

Greetings!....this is deconstructed version of traditional chhole bhature dish which originates from northern part of India. Great to see you all relishing it in a different fashion. Much love from India!

[@TasteofTrini]

Hi! Yes, it does have Indian roots. My ancestors were from India. The Deen family in Trinidad started selling their own version of chole bhature and used the local spices and fruits to make condiments. They called it a "single" at first with 1 bara or flatbread with channa and condiments. Then, someone asked go double it up and that's how the name doubles started 🙂

[@zenashajarat2615]

Your doubles looks delicious especially with the coconut chutney. My husband loves doubles I'm going to try your recipes

[@surrealserpents4521]

Followed the recipe and came out perfect exactual like the real thing so soft and fluffy. Thank you so much for this recipe. Amazing

[@ashanichand3124]

OMG... I am so excited about your channel... I am originially from Fiji Islands and our food and traditions are 99.9 % same as that of yours.. including the recipies, prayer traditions and family customs. Ancestors are from different parts of India but we were taken to Fiji during the same time your ancestors were taken to Trinidad... Fiji is my home... and I love to eat and travel... Keep the good work of all the vids, just love it.

[@sashsat4698]

no doubles in fiji though, we missed out hard lol

[@incubusk8r]

this is just puri and chole we have in India like 1ce a week. The only diff we don't use yeast in any indian flat bread unless its naan, which is Persian in origin. i think this is a trini version of indian chole bhature,

[@mrladnek5858]

[@carolgonzalez1758]

You are a fantastic Trini chef/cook. I love watching your Trini cuisine dishes. You are so young to be so accomplished , so I imagine you learnt your skills from helping your Mum in the kitchen from a very young age. Just a little advice. In the U.K. it is very hard to get fresh Chandon Beni leaves or even dried culantro seasoning. Some wise Trini should work on making this available to Trini’s in the U.K. Thanks so much for your terrific channel. I am grateful for your delicious Trini cuisine dishes. I was born in Trinidad but our family came here since 1956 as children. I am now 75 years and was blessed with a great granddaughter in January and a great grandson in February 2022. I intend to teach my great grand kids Trini cuisine and I hope they will carry on the legacy and teach their kids. Viva sweet T&T. Please don’t stop your channel. Blessings. 🇹🇹. ✌🏻💖

[@hneedips6450]

It looks really good. I'm Guyanese and I love doubles. thanks for the recipe and I just mix the bara. I will let you know how it turn out.
