I was fortunate to grow up in south Trinidad, but living in the NYC for over 20yrs. I enjoy hearing your voice. Next time I come home sure enough fig tacari. And yes on Sunday its crab.
I just finished making this Reshmi. It is absolutely delicious. I followed everything you did. I’m thankful for your videos of trini dishes. You are easy to understand and follow. I don’t live in Trinidad and my access to ingredients are limited but thanks to your substitution advice, I can achieve the trini taste of food I remember. Keep doing what you do cause you help lots of folks out there like myself.
Your recipes are always the closest my in laws used to teach me when I came from Venezuela to live with them 36 years ago... ! To me it is the authentic trini food and it just bring such good memories... TY🤗
each islands has its unique way of making callalloo. in the virgin islands is more watery like a soup but it dont matter to me how its done or whoever makes it. its amazing. i love it!
I haven't made this in years. This is how I remember making it except for the carrots. This should give you an idea when last I made it. Thanks Reshmi.
I love callaloo and make it as well. I have never seen carrots added to it before. Also whenever I am using crab I always clip off the toes as well as the tip of the gundy. I usually put all my ingredients into the pot with a little hot water on a slow heat, leaving a whole pimento pepper to the top. When the ochroe seeds turn pink then I add the coconut milk followed by the golden ray butter and a hot green pepper (whole) on top which lights up the kitchen. Hot pepper and coconut milk always make a sweet clash. I leave that until coconut milk is dried down and now i swizzle. My callaloo normally comes out thick. Well I guess there can be more than one way of doing something and still achieve its goal. Thanks for the video anyway. I did enjoy the geera chicken recipe.
Summers Lake sounds good. I usually clip the toes and gundy as well but these were just for flavor, I didn't eat them. I do that when I'm making curry crab. It's nice to hear different ways of making a dish, thanks for sharing ☺
I love this recipe, for a young lady you exhibit great cooking skills, I was known to be the Callaloo King back in the day before I migrated to Northeast USA, keep up the good work, love all your recipes, keep on cooking...TRINI Q.......
this is lovely i love this with anything stew as well. i have a really strange trick if you dont get the young leaves and dont have a lot of time to cook. seperate leaves from stems and wash put the in your food processor and chop finely. some baking powder can also be added to older leaves when cooking. same method as in the video. it will be ready in 15 mins.no blending needed.
In the USVI we eat this as a soup. I love mine with a lot of Okro. We put some fungi in the bowl then add the kallaloo to cover. Its real good man. I will try your recipe when I get back home. One Love
I've seen a few of your videos and I've really enjoyed them. It's given me the confidence I needed to attempt some dishes I've grown up with. Thank you 🙂
Thanks for that video that only thing I can’t find here is the golden ray butter. I am going to used spinach also. I hope it comes out perfect. That’s going to be one of my Christmas side dishes.
Look for Taro leaves in a Caribbean, Asian or Hawaiian market or supermarket. You can get plants online or at a plant shop and grow them yourself, they'll do well in the South
Hey hun I am going to try this in a few minutes. I don't see the recipe for the green seasoning. Can I use bottles green seasoning also? I'm so excited!
i know that calaloo and crab is a Trini special.Thanks for sharing the receipe.i dont know if i can grab dasheen leaves here in Toronto.,but i think so .lots of trini and african grocery store in Toronto.If not would try thick leak bagi(poi)
Good morning our 17years anniversary is today lol my husband is looking at your video to cook for me lol. He's making callaloo bake fish and rice and bake potato.
We call it Calalou in Guadeloupe. Calalou and crab is a traditional dish for the Easter celebrations. Your recipe is quite similar to ours but we don't use coconut milk.
My aunt uses crab a lot I don’t due to accessibility just use bacon, also don’t use coconut milk but will try it next time, also use pork bouillon probably eat this every week
sophiamartinez06 If you have a W. I. , Caribbean/ American market you could find dasheen bush & the other ingredients there. That's where I find it in Brooklyn
i just love the Caribbean accent

Excellent Trinidad dish, love it
Thank you pretty trini gaul for your lovely calaloo recipes ❤❤❤❤
the pumpkin really gives it a wonderful colour
I usually add my coconut milk at the last 15mins of cooking... It enhances the flavour
You are so right. Same here
Oh really I never heard that, so initially you add water?
How does it boil down at first?
@@akil2746 Yes, I use water first and it boils down normal/nicely. Some Caribbean countries do not use coconut milk in their callaloo.
Nice, just the way I remember my step mom making it in Trinidad....I see my recipe is not far off.. thanks for sharing 👍💙
Yummy!! This reminds me of a crab dish I make with moringa leaves.
Cooking with Ria , Caribbean pot, foodie nation, uncle Clyde ❤❤❤
I have yet to have good callaloo in the States yet. I shall try to make it on my own. This looks delicious!!!
Looks absolutely delicious, will try this recipe
this is lovely i love this with anything stew as well. i have a really strange trick if you dont get the young leaves and dont have a lot of time to cook. seperate leaves from stems and wash put the in your food processor and chop finely. some baking powder can also be added to older leaves when cooking. same method as in the video. it will be ready in 15 mins.no blending needed.

Can you substitute the pumpkin for butternut squash
nurse.cynthia yes you can. I do it all the time

Taste of Trini , Excellent recipe
Thank you! I love your videos! Excellent content on your channel! :)
Love this dish...really worth trying!
Woke up today with this on my mind ❤..
Is dried bhaji leaf ok for this? I live in California so I have to make due with what’s available 😅
Thanks for that video that only thing I can’t find here is the golden ray butter. I am going to used spinach also. I hope it comes out perfect. That’s going to be one of my Christmas side dishes.
Golden Ray is not actually butter, it's a salted margarine, so you can look in the margarine section for brands like Land o Lakes, HEB or Becel etc
Love this recipe! I live in Texas and I can’t get Dasheen Bush so I used baby spinach and it tasted great!
Look for Taro leaves in a Caribbean, Asian or Hawaiian market or supermarket.
You can get plants online or at a plant shop and grow them yourself, they'll do well in the South
Looks yummy and delicious .
Hey hun I am going to try this in a few minutes. I don't see the recipe for the green seasoning. Can I use bottles green seasoning also? I'm so excited!
Looks delicious

What can I substitute the Golden day with? I live I Atlanta Georgia and it’s hard to find it here
Look in the margarine section for "salted margarine" like HEB, Land o Lakes or Becel etc, they're usually orange colored like Kraft cheese singles
Great stuff Never disappointed with your recipes 💯

Hi! Can I use butternut squash instead of pumpkin? Also, what if you can’t get golden ray butter?
Yes you can! Use regular butter instead with a bit of annatto/achiote powder

where I can find that dashin bush in NY?
I live in Bronx
The only place I get nice young dasheen bush is at Ace West Indian store on Liberty Ave. (11014 Liberty Ave)
sophiamartinez06 If you have a W. I. , Caribbean/ American market you could find dasheen bush & the other ingredients there. That's where I find it in Brooklyn
U gotta go uptown like by gunhill or further,they have west Indian markets with all the stuff
Great recipe! it looks delicious👍
Taste of Trini , Happy Holiday to you.
Happy Thanksgiving to you too!! I know you will be cooking up a storm! Enjoy!
