- How to make baigan choka as it's done in Trinidad and Tobago. Using fresh egg plant, this dish that's very similar to baba ganoush goes well with sada roti or can be used as a dip for chips or toasted flat breads. The full recipe can be found at: caribbeanpot.co...
Just made it for the 1st time myself. Called my mother and watched it. As a young Guyanese-American male this video was a marriage of old favorites with new style learning. God Bless
My grandfather and grandmother used to put whole garlic cloves inside the baigan and roast it. Thus,making it flavorful.
Mine too!
Thankx 4 that tip
Yup that’s right I do this as well
My parents taught us to do that as well. Yummy!
This is my all time favourite meal! My mum wraps up the bigan in foil (holes need to be made in both after wrapping) then roasts it on the stove top (turning it frequently). It makes for easy clean up since the leftover skin can be thrown out with the foil and it still gets that nice roasted flavor. She also uses roasted tomatoes but after looking through some comments, I think that's a Guyanese thing. Personally, I prefer oil roti with it but my mum usually makes sada since it's a bit healthier. Then again, I'd eat oil roti with anything though.
I also think she cooks it in a pan for a bit at some point. But I think that's in place of putting hot oil on top.
Nice, we also do this exactly in Surinam
Your mom was right Sada Roti is the ultimate for this .. I love the tomatoes with it as well definitely a trini thing as i grew up on them both together :)
U can roast in a 450 degrees oven on the bottom rack....on top of a baking sheet....its done in about 20 minutes.....perfect every time
My mom was watching this with me, & said she would make this! She's planning on adding fried salted herring to it, to eat with provision!
I can't wait, lol - I love my mom's cooking! 😁
Geeez that combo sounds wicked!
Bro you forget the sticker on the baigan 😂 and put it on the grill. Everybody gonna know where that baigan Cholka come from now. Still sending lots of Respect and Admiration for what you keeping alive. Much Love.
People can be so negative, it's do funny to be too see these little negative comments from pepper who watch your videos I'm sure more than one time. Your going a great job which is obvious because you have once 100,000 followers. KEEP UP THE GOOD JOB
AMEN, I AGREE!!!!!
Us Indians make this in Fiji. My favourite!! I love this.
genie121 Absolutely!
Omg yeesss
I don’t know if this talented cook ever shared a heritage story Guyana or Trinidad and Tobago? I appreciate the recipes.
i personally like the tips and tricks , it helps for those of us who are new to cooking :)
Just tried the recipe. All I can say is I never thought about grilling the baigan on the pit. Saved me a lot of clean up there. The olive oil added extra flavour. Thoroughly enjoyed this recipe
I am pregnant and was graving this but grandmother isn't here to make it for me so thanks for the recipe it was very easy and delicious..... Keep it up ... Love from Aruba
Chris you are doing a good job. This will help the generations to come, that is lost to all the extra lessons in the name of education. Our children are losing the basics.
They do not have time to see Ma cooking. Even Ma has lost the touch because she did not see Nanny do it. Keep it real.
there is no smell a vision but the memories of the smells and taste just making my mouth water.
hi...love baigan choka and sada roti....thanks for the recipe and much love from trinidad!!!!
I like the way u explain simple way to make things. Thanks :)
Hello thank you for being so in depth. I’m definitely going to try this. I didn’t think it was too long.
I am Monica De-leon from Tobago l love all your foods and I love how you take your time to show how us you cook that is so nice
Looks very easy to prepare thanks!! Can't wait to try it! Much love from Florida
Hey chris thanks for all the info most people don't like important info like this lol, but if you stick the garlic in to the egg plant, and use them after taking them from the egg plant, crushing them as you did, the garlic flavor and the texture after crushing is amazing, you can even seeing that your using a grill, you can put the garlic on there in some foil,
From one Trini to another thanks for all the excellent recipes dude. Keep up the great work. And for all the haters leaving negative comments on here? I dare you to do better.
in Guyana we put the whole garlic clove in....and the garlic get roasted with the bolange or egg plant..... it makes a nice filling for roti.
Choka is the key to amending global starvation.
I'm in agreement with you there....I would roast the garlic along side of the eggplant too! Gives it a smokiness that would offset some of the heat from the pepper!
Julietta Haynes nice to know.never heard about the filling of roti
The roasted garlic would give it a kick
Julietta Haynes that’s rite
Chris you are a pro. Now I know how to choose an egg plant for choka. Thanks for the tips. Your presentation is great.
I just made this today and it was absolutely delicious!! It reminded me of my childhood days. I want to thank you Chris at Caribbean pot for all these videos inspiring me to become a better cook and please keep posting more videos because I'll be cooking away!! Thanks again!
If you spread some foil on your stovetop (just cut a hole for your burner), you'll make cleaning up much easier, Also I slit a little hole in the baigan and stick the garlic in and roast the baigan with the garlic in it. Trinidad flavours :-)
trini do i take off the burner and place the foil directly or wrap the eggplant? TIA
OriginalRipndip Take the burner off and place the foil directly on the stove then you either cut a hole and replace the burner or let the stem of the burner punch a hole in the foil when you put it back on as Danial Fabien suggested. The eggplant gets a better roasted flavour when it is exposed to the flame as opposed to being roasted in foil. I haven't used a gas stove in decades so I can't remember the exact workings of the burner.
Take the sticker OFF the baigan before you cook it. :) 7:00
DyalTube ^ lol * I hope he washed the eggplant first
You could reduce your videos to more than half, there's way too much talking and nothing happening. You'll get more interest too.
I was searching for Bihari Choka n i hv a Caribbean baigan Choka.. wow that's awesome. I m gonna hv this with masala khichdi
I''m Haitian and I am dying to learn how to cook this dish. It looks so delicious. Don't laugh, . but as Haitian I never knew you could eat the skin of eggplant . I can't wait to try this dish. Here I go!!!!!!!
Thanks for sharing this, instead of olive oil coconut oil can be a alternative, but congrats your video was concise, smooth and clear.
In the Micro it can explode the grill is really the best .
i really appreciate the way you explain everything in detail..thank you for the help
Looks delicious enjoy with flat bread and kuchela at the side 😋👍🇹🇹
I sometimes roast the eggplant on the grill for my mom when she makes it. it tastes so much better than when it's all done inside.
looks good...gonna try this one man!
This is one of my all time favorites!!!
I love your version of baigan choka , will soon try it out. Thank you.
oh boy am i hungry now :)...just a tip - I usually put the garlic in the slits of the bhaigan before i roast it fireside.....
Adding whole cloves of garlic in the slits will roast the garlic as well. Brush the eggplant w/olive oil before roasting. Roast also a large tomato, slice this. Add a pat of butter, chopped shallots, mix with a fork. (no need to mash except for the garlic) 🌻
thanks for the recipie, i am staying in germany, but from bihar, india. missing the recpie i ended up at your channel. i didnt know it was famous at your place also.
Enjoyed your receipe from Toronto will I will eat it with bus up shut I bought from a Trini roti shop with some dhal.Actully my brother's wife usually made it in the microwave but you know we rost the eggplant in a wooden fireside in Guyana or Trinidad.will be trying it today.
omg when will u start cooking already.
Ikr, talking more than cooking
my family also roast tomatoes (peels the skin off) and then adds it to baigan choka... the tomatoes adds alot of taste! Im not sure if it's only a guyanese thing though
You're the best!
Love your cooking
I am hooked...
Sunday afternoon dish. I make this on the weekends for my family.
This is an Indian dish with a carrabian touch which was transferred to that part of world by workers taken by British from India
My mother in law wraps it in foil an den roast it but my mom did it ole school like yours d onion differences is she used to put d garlic inside d bhaigan but luv ur method
That sticker on the baigan is bugging me I would have liked to see it removed before cooking !!
I very much agree with you. It was bothering me also.
Right!!! Me 2 ugh
I.tellimg you.boy why he didn't move that it is irritating me
Same here
No comments your excellent for cook guys.
Keep up the great work!!!
Hi Chris great job on the Baigan choka
You talk boy! Tip of salt and garlic I have to try! Yummy
Very nice! I am gonna give your recipe a try, I like roasting the eggplant on an open fire, the smoked flavor is an ingredient also👍
My grandmother normally put the garlic Inside the baigan also she roasted tomatoes then she would add the salt pepper and spring onions I have never seen it done before like how you prepare it
Thanks Chris.
remind me of when my mom made it great job
Hi very good job those pepole vex they can't cook like u excellent job 🖐🖐🖐
I love this
Just made your recipe and it was very good , thanks !
Only thing is that I didn't have any scotch bonnet,
Hi Chris thanks for the vegan dishes.
Great video.....try grilling the garlic and the onions.....it really gives it that grilled smokey taste
Hey Chris I made the salt fish buljol from your recipe, and man it came out awesome along with the fry bake. Thanks.
kris you are the best 😍😍😍
awesome guy. gotta have this with the roti,
My fav breakfast
Thanks Chris, I enjoy your recipes. Looking forward to 2017.
My mouth watering boy Chris..
this is my favorite way to eat eggplant. the roasted way taste better than fried and curried imo.
my folks use butter in theirs
Typically in Trinidad and Tobago brigan choka is eaten with sada roti, I imagine one can eat it with what is preferable.
yummy choka, now want to know how to make coconut choka pls
Chris try it in an air fryer. Thank you for the videos 💕
I am going to try this tomorrow
5 mins in and you didn't start?
Tip.Tell your story whilst cooking.
Too much yapping!
+ray ray Creole cooking, a lot dearies
Katie Macormic xo
Thanks for saying it Ray Ray
real professional channel, keep up the good work
Hi looks delicious . I try it but mine come bit brown
great recipe
a toasted flat bread would be a healthier alternative to oil roti but would it taste better. i doubt it. my parents usually cook this with oil roti because they dont care about health that much
Great recipes, keep up the good work!
next you should do a video on how to make sada roti that would be a great addition
I always like all of Chris videos, my only problem is he talks too many. He literally puts me to sleep. I be like this😩 whilst watching his videos. A little less talk and you won't have a problem🤗
I have done the Baigan Choka in the microwave..I usually do it for 20-25 minutes..it depends how big or fat the egg plant is
This looks great! I may have to try this out soon!
Hi Cris good cooking...I watch ur videos...An yes u do have to put the garlic into the slits on the bygan...An yes u do get a very very bbq flavor....I am MATTIE from central Trinidad California love ur cooking keep on exposing our lil Trinidad an yes LOTS of ppl don't know where Trinidad is. But we are now breaking lots of good news around the world for our sports an other activities. Keep up the good work an next time try the garlic piercing it into the buy an slits
Chris, please advise to remove pepper seeds before crushing.
Using a hot West Indian pepper can spell disaster.
keep up the great work!!! u seem to know all my favorites!! :)
this is like one of the INDIAN recipe of baigab ka bharta
Great job! I enjoy your videos. Similar to our Fiji recipes. Keep it up.
my mom roasts tomato and adds that too along with everything you have added.. yumm its a lovely dish!
MMMM delicious, i am going to make it today.
Thank You for the receipe.
My fav

Hello Chris with all the the mashing can one use a Blender

Amazing so cooking that tonight
Try this with roasted tomatoes in which case you must add like a tbsp of sugar along with all the same ingredients.

Diaz food to eat after a gym work out.
Why didn't you peel off the sticker on the eggplant before you put it on the grill
Thats great
