[@CookingWithRia]

Ronald Rampersad Appreciate the feedback. 💕

[@VineetaPrasad--]

Baigan chokha is a must have for my family and I especially on weekends. It's such a comforting meal :) Usually have it with avocado/zaboca chokha at the side

[@sunmattiejattan9775]

And boiled eggs

[@gracewblessings77]

Hi Ria Love your way of cooking, your efficiency, patience & very explicit. You're indeed amazing! Thank you!

[@hafeezanisha6609]

[@CookingWithRia]

Angel Starr Have a wonderful day at work my friend! Please share my videos with everyone - let them know what we Trinis are about-real good food! 💕😀👋🏼

[@hamaniecheenibass5729]

What a unique way of putting it- "the flesh surrenders to the heat and collapses"....."to expedite the marriage of ingredients". I like a bit of charred bits in - adds to the roasted flavour👍

[@anniechandoo2162]

Love love all styles of cooking ...💞...

[@felew876]

Ria I hear the poet in you. "FLESH SURRENDERS TO THE HEAT" I love it.

Hi Great Photography,it seems that the person shooting the Video is a professional, I love how you explain the eggplant recipe. Thanks 🙏 from Montreal..

[@outragedlyrics]

Your videos are visually pleasing! Keep up the great work.

[@lisas.1681]

Love watching you cook - your description.... direction .... so efficient 😍. I never put fresh garlic into choka - always thought the steamed up ones were enough. Gotta try your way.... another layer of garlicky goodness 😍

[@CookingWithRia]

Lisa Shadir Thank you so much for your feedback! Always appreciated! 🌷

[@sherryannsherryann5069]

Hello. Yummy.... nothing like hot sada roti and biganchoka and a hot cup of tea. Thanks for another tasty video.

[@foxfire7581]

Ria it is true about male & female Baigan the male baigan does have less seeds in them . I have personally tried it . Love from USA.

[@Honeypepper.]

To some people this might look unappetizing, but that's because they're not ready for the kick**** flavor it brings!😋😋😋

[@deboraalexis4016]

Very elegant presentation!❤❤🙏🌹

[@s.bk.655]

yummmm what an amazing breakfast!

[@karminiparsan4440]

Well done👏👏👌👌

[@primroserosemary8862]

Delicious choka🤤.... I try and catch all the natural oil from the bygian makes it taste even better🤗

[@taralalla50]

Very nice but if you had a piece of avocado and fry plantain would be even better.

[@SuperFrazil]

In your last video you said longer is better, but here I see you using a thicker baigun.

[@ruthwarner8291]

[@CookingWithRia]

Hi Sharon. Thank you so much. Here is the easy recipe for sada roti-hope it helps. kzbin.info/www/bejne/a2jbin6rasSbqpI

[@gab-reenahenry5320]

Where do you live Rita? PS: I love all of your recipes and dishes you post

[@jeangopie6789]

Why so much oil

[@CookingWithRia]

Jean Gopie Thanks for your important question! Oil makes it fluffy, filling and it tastes better as well-a secret!! . We need healthy fats at each meal to stay full-at least in my personal experience. I used good quality EVOO vs cheap processed vegetable oil. 1-2 tbsp per large eggplant is not a large quantity. In the clip where I poured a lot of oil I may have been making a larger quantity baigan choka. I used different clips to demonstrate variations. Please feel free to adjust to your personal preference-that’s the beauty and benefit of cooking at home! 🌷

[@sarnathkerala8160]

100 vegan food, my shepherds bush baigan has no veggie scent, my trini baigan has aroma

[@durgabhawanee9957]

So many people now on KZbin doing cooking shows of preparing traditional Indian food--from all the different rotis, chokhas, chutney, doubles, saheena, pholourie, katchowrie, baiganee, bhajee, and a host of curry dishes, all of which have been handed down to us by our Indian ancestors for our enjoyment, and in the case of these videos, for profit. However, not in one instance, have I ever seen any of these cooks/chefs, acknowledge our ancestors from India who passed down to us these wonderful ways of cooking . Always promoting it as "Trini style." Absolutely misleading, and total disregard for the wonderful Indian people and their contribution to how we cook in Trinidad, and other Caribbean countries. Extremely shameful that credit is denied to the people who originally created all these dishes.

[@CookingWithRia]

Durga Bhawanee Maybe you didn’t see this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/a2jbin6rasSbqpI I would say it is a known fact that these recipes were brought by the Indians who came to work in the sugar plantation. With all due respect where else would we have gotten them from? I am a West Indian myself.. Does not make sense to repeat it over and over again.in my videos, plus I hardly make a profit from these videos and blog-does not even cover the cost of my ingredients, time or equipment. We call it Trini style because over the decades we have put our own twist to it and it’s not exactly the way it is done in India. If we didn’t use ‘Trini Style’ we would be criticized as well. Thanks for stopping by and sharing your concern.

[@caitlyncarmona5881]

What is the point of trying to find a problem with a simple recipe video? It is Trinidadian style because there is Trinidadian twists to the recipe as it isn't authentic. I'm very sure the creator did not do it to ''spite'' the indian ancestors that gave it to Trinidad by not mentioning it came from them as the viewers are not thinking out the box to get offended because the creator of the video did not mention the ancient history about it, but rather, to know how to make the food, as the creator intended for us to learn. Please stop being foolish and looking for a reason to tear down a video, because you yourself look very childish, trying to disgrace this woman's time and effort to teach you how to cook.

[@spirit4341]

Wow always someone with a negative mind set

[@durgabhawanee9957]

@@spirit4341 You can call it "a negative mindset," if you want to, but i prefer to say that it is a matter of giving credit where credit is due. Has nothing to do with being negative. Just proud of my ancestors, and the amazing heritage they bestowed upon me.
