There is nothing sitting in my home here in the west indies, on a rainy day eating a plate of this hot delicious pelau, im doin that rite now , sunday lunch(thnkyou my friend love always)
You are so awesome!!!! I made this exactly how you said it turned out perfect!!!! Typically my pelau never comes out right!!! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!
I am looking at this in Dec. 2021. Although this was done in 2015, you have improved so much since you started. Thank you and keep up the good work. The only thing that I do differently is stew the peas first. I also add a little bit of pumpkin, that makes it wetter and about three pigtails chopped in small pieces. I know some religions don't use the latter. This is how I was taught by people who would have been in their 100s now if they had lived. Some people even put raisons in it.
Thanks so much trying it right now tasting delicious. Was nervous about stewing the chicken. Thanks and continue making videos. You better than a cook book.
I always enjoy watching your videos. I live in Katy and would love for you to show me how to make Dhalpuri. I made some and it came out good but something was missing.
+Tina Craigg Hey, you can but I won't recommend it. When olive oil reaches a high temperature it's no longer healthy. However, you can put the sugar in the pot without any oil and it will still give the same result. No oil needed. Hope this was helpful! ☺
Your Pelou rice made me hungry here in TORONTO. WAS BORNED IN GUYANA but my sister -in in-law is a Trini.and she used to make it.She passed away and I rally want that receipe. Thanks for sharing it with me in canada.we have green seasoning ;cock spur soup mix.what about some soy sauce,thine and rosemary?you are every pretty cook.your husband is lucky to have you.i gotta cook although iget aguyanese girlfried(lol).
Good Morning just want to say THANK YOU for all the wonderful recipes you created. They helped me alot in my quest of finding my inner chef lol . I tried the pelau recipe and it really Lash. Continue to do a GREAT JOB. Gonna try Fish Broth next. Thanks Again and keep up the great work. 👍
I'm going to try this tomorrow plz God. I never cooked pelau before. Your recipe is the most flavored I've seen so far.... I'm going with this except im going to use duck instead of chicken... (going brave). thanks very much for sharing. 👍👍
Taste of Trini ... interesting you sent this message 1 hour ago and I just turned off my pot 1 hour ago. So as I mentioned before this is the first time I'm cooking pelau. I use Approximately 90% of your method. The difference is I used duck instead of chicken and I added bay leaf to the stew when I was preparing the meat... The taste is FANTASTIC! ! Your recipe is excellent. Thank you for sharing. You have a new subscriber.
hey...I just made this peleu...it tasted great...thanks for this menu an for helping me learn to cook :) please continue i would like to know how to make geera chicken plz ty 😘😘😘😘👑👠
Very nice videos . Wherever you got your cooking style , your recipes are so similar to how I cook . I'm just not fortunate to have all fresh ingredients available where I live , so I drool over your cooking 💟
very well done honey keep it up plenty people don't know pelau is a hard food to cook although is one pot you have to master it because if you don't is either it come out hard or like mix rice keep it up
Modern version, but I will try your recipe. When I use fresh pigeon peas, I usually cook them separately with pigtails and pumpkin and I add them just before I put in the rice. We did not use carrots or stock, just water or coconut milk. If you want you can also put in some raisons but not a lot. Thanks for your site because living abroad has caused me to stop cooking a lot of our foods.
+Kristine Lewis I did not write the recipe for this, that's why I showed all the ingredients at the beginning and explained the process throughout the video. I will definitely write the recipe on my blog soon. Sorry. Thanks for watching!
Hello dear heart, like you I like to cook and wish to say I like your videos, keep them coming. Hopefully one day soon I will start a channel until then, I will keep posting pictures of my recipes on instagram until I build up the courage, lol. I am planning on trying this recipe in the near future. tfs. Cheers!
+Beaute' Naturelle Hi! Thanks so much for stopping by! You should start your channel. I was extremely skeptical about it but my friends and family encouraged me and I finally did it. After my first few videos, it became easier. Good luck!
so I just finish made a pot of pelau and I have to say for my first try it came it really good .. I followed All your steps 😃😃😃😃😃 thanks alot do more dishes pleaseeee
Dear Taste of Trini: I prepared your rendition of Pelau. Oh, My Goodness! It was so darn delicious! Even though I live in the States, and am not fortunate to have some of the same produce items. It was still amazing! This will be a stable among my food menu. I did, however, purchase Goya's (Pigeon Peas) and Goya's (Culantro Base). Thank you!
thank you for this awesome recipe..I'm vegan but I cooked this for some of my friends from Philadelphia and I completely nailed it..I'll try it without chicken next time..will it be as tasty?
hi could you list the ingredients in the discription box below so it's easier for first timers. tnx ...I'm not a trini but I do like trying different foods so ....Thanks for sharing your eecipes😊
You cook pelau exactly like me...I realise most people do not season the rice after it is added to the chicken. Looks scrumptious especially with the pepper😊😊👌👌
Hey Nigel, depending on the rice you use, that's how much liquid you add. For parboiled or jasmine rice, use 2 cups of water to 1 cup of rice. For basmati, use 1 cup of rice and 1 1/2 cups of water. You need to cook it on a low heat when you add the rice. Cover and let it steam and it will be more grainy.
hi i actually used your recepie and the taste was lovely but my weak point is the rice has to be cooked or as they say in trini till it burst or like fried rice
Hey, it depends. Some people like a drier pelau while others like it wet. If you want a drier pelau, then do it like fried rice. If you want it more wet, then let it cook until the rice gets soft all the way through
Taste of Trini -- By weird stuff I was thinking a light bulb, a wad of chewing gum, or maybe the keys to someone elses car. haha Love your accent ANd this vid. so far. needed a vid to show me how this stuff is made. Thanks!
You are such a great cook. My boyfriend loves the recipes I've nabbed from this channel. Just a little word of advice. Use a plastic or wooden spoon. That metal spoon will ruin a non stick pan.
Thanks hun! Glad you enjoy it! Yes, I don't ever put metal spoons in my non stick pans. This one is a cast iron, that's why I used metal. Thanks so much for watching and trying out my recipes!
The only time it turns to rock is if it cools too quickly, like if you let it sit with the heat off. As soon as you see the sugar turning color and doubling in size,that's when it's ready
Love your videos but when you add your chicken to the hot brown sugar try to reduce the amount of water (Gravy) you have so you can let the chicken brown nicely nah
Does Golden Ray butter have a stronger butter flavor than what we get here in the states? Is there a major difference between Golden Ray and regular butter?
Health Corner: Remove fat and blood from chicken, skip the Maggie because of the MSG, skip the oil, skip the golden ray butter, skip the sugar and add ginger. Have a longer life.
If you don't bun the sugar and brown the meat then it will not taste the same. That is the main base for pelau. The salt butter and other powdered package could be left out but I use unsalted butter.
I enjoyed watching your video, and loved the ingredients that went in. Once you added the coconut milk, you should've just used a fork and not the spoon ,anymore, also instead of adding more water,all at once you should have spooned the water over the rice, and fluffed it with a fork,cooking the rice on a low flame,that way you would've steamed the rice down as in a pliau. try this tip next time, after all that water was used up, you could then turn of your flame. and after 20/30. mins fluff the rice again with the fork,so as not to let the rice clump up..once you've turned off the flame do not fluff the hot rice, as you'd be breaking it, so use the above mins I mentioned.
you explain everything so simply.... great job... ty.... love your videos... keep them coming :)

Don't use rosemary. Stick to W.I. green seasonings. Otherwise it is going to taste different. Pelau has its own authentic taste.
Taste of trini. I like your cooking video very much. I am from Trinidad.😊

Hey, sorry! I've been adding it to my recent ones. Going to do it now!
+Taste of Trini thanks dear...keep up the good work😊
You cook pelau exactly like me...I realise most people do not season the rice after it is added to the chicken. Looks scrumptious especially with the pepper😊😊👌👌
Nice :) This is the best way to cook it in my opinion. Thank you!
Great job 👍🏽💕
Does the Browning spice have the same taste with the melted sugar? i dont find that spice to buy.Thanks.
Hi Reshmi when I do my pelau the rice comes out very soft and mushy. What can I do for the rice to come out more grainy.
Hey Nigel, depending on the rice you use, that's how much liquid you add. For parboiled or jasmine rice, use 2 cups of water to 1 cup of rice. For basmati, use 1 cup of rice and 1 1/2 cups of water. You need to cook it on a low heat when you add the rice. Cover and let it steam and it will be more grainy.
@@TasteofTrini Ok thank you will give it a try.
best pelau recipe!
:) Glad you think so
beautiful pelau
+nitsrah Thank you!
Wonderful recipe darling I love it 🥰
Interesting, in Uganda, we have a similar thing but we prepare it different.
whats it called?
RICHIE RICHARD can you share I love African food we don't have it here in our area.
hi i actually used your recepie and the taste was lovely but my weak point is the rice has to be cooked or as they say in trini till it burst or like fried rice
Hey, it depends. Some people like a drier pelau while others like it wet. If you want a drier pelau, then do it like fried rice. If you want it more wet, then let it cook until the rice gets soft all the way through
What’s in the green seasoning?
what is d purpose of adding green season at d end
How big is your pot please, thank you!
Wash your rice because you can get some weird stuff in there. haha
Good stuff!
Lol, it's true though. Love your vids!
Taste of Trini -- By weird stuff I was thinking a light bulb, a wad of chewing gum, or maybe the keys to someone elses car. haha Love your accent ANd this vid. so far. needed a vid to show me how this stuff is made.
Thanks!
Hahahaha Thank you. People say our accent is singsongy lol Awesome, hope you try it!
Love your cooking and you have a cute voice!!! I miss my Trinidadian accent ha. By the way I tried your recipe and it taste so frigging good!!
Thank you :) Awesome! Share your pic with me if you are on Instagram- @tasteoftrinbago and Facebook- Taste of Trini
You are such a great cook. My boyfriend loves the recipes I've nabbed from this channel. Just a little word of advice. Use a plastic or wooden spoon. That metal spoon will ruin a non stick pan.
Thanks hun! Glad you enjoy it! Yes, I don't ever put metal spoons in my non stick pans. This one is a cast iron, that's why I used metal. Thanks so much for watching and trying out my recipes!
The whole thing probably can be done in an Instant Pot! However, this is great!
It is not going to be the same.
hungry now
pelauaaaaaaaauuuuuu, love eeeeettttt
My brown sugar turned to rock candy when I added my marinated chicken. What did I do wrong??
The only time it turns to rock is if it cools too quickly, like if you let it sit with the heat off. As soon as you see the sugar turning color and doubling in size,that's when it's ready
if i wanted to do a veggie pelau , with soya ....
It's tasty
Home food 🇹🇹🥘 is the best 👍🏻
Delightful order,,
You have to let the oil hot then throw in the sugar.
Love your videos but when you add your chicken to the hot brown sugar try to reduce the amount of water (Gravy) you have so you can let the chicken brown nicely nah
I agree causes the colour of the rice was a bit off to my knowing but there's always room for improvement
Lol yep
Hey, I'm allergic to soy sauce, can I use something else, great for the video btw : ) and thanks in advance
Great
+FancyChocolate Stain Thanks!
So I take it u like it alot.....don't get me wrong I like it also
awesome recipe once again..turned my friends onto your channel..there jealous im going to marry you..lol
Does Golden Ray butter have a stronger butter flavor than what we get here in the states? Is there a major difference between Golden Ray and regular butter?
Yes, there's a huge difference. Golden Ray butter has a totally different taste and a higher salt content
Looks yummy, just curious,,,,wild u know a person Dr, Vidya Gyan she's a friend of mine I've been trying to trace , tx
+Tube Lily Thanks! Sorry, don't know that person.
Gary S try any West Indian store in your neighborhood
If you are close to an Asian market you might find it
There also,

My mother never added butter at the end.
It's yummy
wey the pumpkin
I love pumpkin in it
I agree.
I love your recipes, but wish you would add cooking instructions along with your ingredients.
ms lady who teach u to cook??? ............ i feel u does be in my kitchen

From Janiah my sister is in the kitchen making you're delicious piano

lol when she said "moist" oh gosh gyerl
I enjoyed watching your video, and loved the ingredients that went in. Once you added the coconut milk, you should've just used a fork and not the spoon ,anymore, also instead of adding more water,all at once you should have spooned the water over the rice, and fluffed it with a fork,cooking the rice on a low flame,that way you would've steamed the rice down as in a pliau. try this tip next time, after all that water was used up, you could then turn of your flame. and after 20/30. mins fluff the rice again with the fork,so as not to let the rice clump up..once you've turned off the flame do not fluff the hot rice, as you'd be breaking it, so use the above mins I mentioned.
