Just looking at this I'm hungry....gotta try this weekend🙂

[@tiffineypaiplal8664]

Your bagi rice with pig tale come out the best

[@PerfectNicolelyn]

Natasha I make this all the time, only difference is I do put a pk of "season up " or a tsp of "better than boullion", and finish up with a little pat of golden ray. Also i pierce a tiny hole in a hot pepper and rest it on the top of the rice, just for flavour, no heat. It makes a big difference. Try it, see if you like it.

[@sherrylewis8650]

Thanks for the recipe will try this soon

[@Nurseh4u]

Would smoke turkey go will also instead of pigtail? Great dish looks delicious 😋

[@deborahmohammed8184]

I does sauté the baghie first so it gets more flavor from all the seasoning

[@TriniCookingwithNatasha]

Yes

[@christalnoreiga8098]

[@marciamunroe4427]

HI natasha this is exactly how I make this dish the only thing is I put some golden ray in it it is so amazing how some body could cook so close to the way I do keep up the good job🖒

I didn't see an ochro rice with pigtail recipe from you. Please do one.

[@TriniCookingwithNatasha]

Will do.

[@michaelpeters9554]

Used your recipe & method and I think I scored lol. I did a veggie tho cuz I’m making curry chicken to go with it. Thanks again

[@TriniCookingwithNatasha]

Wow how nice , thanks for trying the recipe.

[@Natisha18]

I'm going to try this recipe. It looks delicious. I'm going to use spinach since bhaji is sometimes hard to find where I am. Do you think throwing in some ochro would change the texture/flavour too much?

[@TriniCookingwithNatasha]

I thought of that too may be a few not to much as it may get slimy.

[@Natisha18]

+Trini Cooking with Natasha Ok sounds good. Thanks and keep up the great work!

[@TriniCookingwithNatasha]

+Natisha S. thank you will do. 😚

[@theolamarshall-bernard]

To make the vegetarian version of this do we just follow all the steps but omit the pigtail?

[@hannahsalina-bain]

Yes. Add salt to taste

[@Rangerover-hp5lp]

I wanna get a wooden spoon with your name on it please

[@amandamahabir8142]

only parboiled rice or any other type of rice ?

you can try white rice but it may fall apart really quick due to the long cooking it requires.
