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.

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.

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

Looks very easy to prepare thanks!! Can't wait to try it! Much love from Florida

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!

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

Hi Chris great job on the Baigan choka

Hey Chris I made the salt fish buljol from your recipe, and man it came out awesome along with the fry bake. Thanks.

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.

you are the best .

Great man! Thank you!

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

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 .

nice work man, keep it up

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 don’t know if this talented cook ever shared a heritage story Guyana or Trinidad and Tobago? I appreciate the recipes.

Take the sticker OFF the baigan before you cook it. :) 7:00

No comments your excellent for cook guys.

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

wow, wonderful job!!! love ur videos!!! :)

My fav

Thanks Chris, I enjoy your recipes. Looking forward to 2017.

Looks delicious enjoy with flat bread and kuchela at the side 😋👍🇹🇹

Thats great

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,

My fav breakfast

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.

Lovely

Thanks Chris.

My mouth watering boy Chris..

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👍

Just made your recipe and it was very good , thanks ! Only thing is that I didn't have any scotch bonnet,

Wow 👍

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.

Hi very good job those pepole vex they can't cook like u excellent job 🖐🖐🖐

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.

Thank you!

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) 🌻

That sticker on the baigan is bugging me I would have liked to see it removed before cooking !!

Great job! I enjoy your videos. Similar to our Fiji recipes. Keep it up.

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.

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

yummy choka, now want to know how to make coconut choka pls

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.

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.....

sweet

next you should do a video on how to make sada roti that would be a great addition

Yeahhh Sir Mix Alot

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!!!!!!!

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 :-)

Chris try it in an air fryer. Thank you for the videos 💕

Great video.....try grilling the garlic and the onions.....it really gives it that grilled smokey taste

Nice

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 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

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

thanks

You talk boy! Tip of salt and garlic I have to try! Yummy

Hi looks delicious . I try it but mine come bit brown

Can You Make This With Cilantro?

When roasting Scotch Bonnets....does it mellow the intense heat that you get?

You could reduce your videos to more than half, there's way too much talking and nothing happening. You'll get more interest too.

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

MY MOM FAVOURITE WHEN I WAS YOUNG MOUTH WATERING

Thanks Chris! It is my birthday soon... guess what will be one of the dip-dishes! :-)

What do you eat with it?
