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🤗
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.
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 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.......
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 ☺
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 🙂
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!
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.
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.
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)
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
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.
Golden Ray Butter makes it taste so good. Unfortunately its not available in Scandinavia. Is there anything I can substitute it with? Really enjoy your RUclips Clips listening to Trini indian slang like chonkay... nice keep it up!!
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.
I have been watching and trying your recipe and can’t complain however I would like to request a recipe for sorrel and egg nog please. Thanks and keep doing ur tho g
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

You did an amazing job love it I always enjoy watching your cooking .
I have yet to have good callaloo in the States yet. I shall try to make it on my own. This looks delicious!!!
Wow!!! That looks amazing
Looks delicious, I make callaloo regularly, however, I have never used carrots, I am a pumpkin girl, however I will try it next time I make it.
Love this dish...really worth trying!
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.
Taste of Trini , Excellent recipe
Thank you! I love your videos! Excellent content on your channel! :)
Real Nice.. Making this with my Macaroni pie and maybe some sorrel... for Easter
Girrrrlll I could lick my phone lol this was well executed, now I need to go make that with some dumplings 😋

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
I have now mastered my callaloo thanks to your recipe 😋☺️ Thank you for sharing.
mouth watering yumminess!
Can you substitute the pumpkin for butternut squash
nurse.cynthia yes you can. I do it all the time
yes you can
I like your cooking skills
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)

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

Hey girl !!! Whey the trini wine recipe you promise we since last year Christmas ?? Tell me when nah u put it up
Would like recipes for boiled seasoned channa... already seen d curried ones....TX
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
Taste of Trini , Happy Holiday to you.
Happy Thanksgiving to you too!! I know you will be cooking up a storm! Enjoy!
Looks great the traditional way
where you get blue crab from girl? You does make me feel tuh come thru da screen and start eating!
Ohhh this looks sooooo yummmmm Reshmi ... 😗👌❤
Golden Ray Butter makes it taste so good. Unfortunately its not available in Scandinavia. Is there anything I can substitute it with? Really enjoy your RUclips Clips listening to Trini indian slang like chonkay... nice keep it up!!
Hey, unfortunately, the only things I can recommends are salted butter or golden cream margarine. Happy you enjoy the videos :)
I didn't know u can melt the Golden Ray Butter in the oil....that's interesting...must try it! Totally love your version 😊
Nicole Ramcharitar; first time I have seen that method too my try it some time
Yes try it! This is how I make corn soup as well. It dissolves the butter in the callaloo instead of creating that film of butter on top. :)
Ĺove your cooking
How does dasheen leaf taste?
Like spinach
Love it
love ur videos
Thank you for watching!
yummy now I want it again
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.
nice hmm looks great
Where are you located, Trinidad??? I grew up in Morvant but now live in North Carolina.
New York, grew up in Central
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
The only thing is I can't get blue crab, yes I use the snow crab over here, but to me the blue crab give it a good taste
Anthony Audain chines supper Market
