The Indian ethnic community makes up one of the largest parts of the population of Trinidad and Tobago. Today we re going on an Indian food tour in South Trinidad - and while many of the foods are Indian in origin and cooking method, they definitely have adapted to become completely unique on their own - Indian Trinidadian food! It s going to be a delicious day with lots of food and lots of peppa! Singh's Doubles - Debe, Trinidad - Our first stop on this Indian food tour is at Singh's Doubles. The entire town is known for their doubles, something you have to eat when you pass through. However, along with doubles, I was very excited to try something called a Saheena - a wad of taro leaves rolled up with dal flour and deep fried then filled up with curry chickpeas and all sorts of chili pepper sauce. Amazing! Gewandass Doubles - Mosquito Creek, Trinidad - To continue we headed to Gewandass Doubles for their extra spicy Diamond Doubles. This might be one of the spiciest doubles you can eat in Trinidad and Tobago, where the barra (fried bread) is actually dipped in chili pepper sauce and a few more pepper sauces are added - there was way more pepper sauce than chickpeas. It was so tasty! Aunty Doll's - Fyzabad, Trinidad - We continued south a little more to Aunty Doll's, a Queen of Indian Trinidadian food! She cooked the traditional way over clay chulhas and open fire and she s just so cool. She cooked an insanely huge meal that included over a dozen different local Trinidadian dishes and roasted coconut chutney and buss up shut - slapped roti! It was one of the most memorable meals in Trinidad and Tobago - the flavors were incredible, and it was so interesting to see the combination of Indian food and ingredients combined with the green seasoning and flavors of the Caribbean. Makes for an incredible and unique food culture! CPL Tournament - Finally to complete this day of food in Trinidad and Tobaog, we happened to be there at the time during the CPL cricket tournament. It was so cool to go to a match and of course eat some more food!

Mark you are wrong when you say that you won't find such food in India. Actually you are familiar with typical North and South Indian fare. Emigration of sugar farmers from British India to South America, Africa and Pacific islands during the 1800s took place from a zone you may call Central East to Central North. This is roughly the area between Varanasi and Kolkata. The cooking style and ingredients you have shown today is very much familiar in this zone, of course you have some unique Trinidadian influences from other cultures and some new inventions as well. Actually you have never visited these states in India in much depth. You can find linkages to South East Asian cuisine also here. You went to Bangladesh where you may have found some similarities but their cuisine has many influences from North India and beyond. A couple more key cuisines you have not covered so far are in Western India, called Konkani and Malabar/ Malwani. Internationally, only North and South Indian culinary styles have been known so far because perhaps they are less nuanced.

You will find this in India. Taro leaves fried with chickpea flour is called Alu chi vadi in Maharashtra and Patra in Gujarat but it's served without toppings. The doubles looks like a variation of 'Chole bhature'. Never seen Chataigne before but it looks like Jackfruit. Grilled eggplant is 'Baingan bharta'. Dhal Puri is similar to Puran Poli but the latter is sweetened with jaggery. The Buss up Shut is just like a Kerala Parotta. Trinidad culture is fascinating.

I love how you have segmented the videos along specific themes. One on Street Food. One on Indian Food. I know a few more are coming! Uncle Clyde up in Paramin, Maracas, Tobago etc. and they are organized around different cuisines to truly show off the diversity. That will make all Trinbagonians very happy as nobody likes to feel left out.

Well, India doesn t contain any single or unique culture rather it has so many diverse cultural traits and different languages. So it would be much informative if we could know from which culture of India is represented here. Anyways the video is so informative and enjoyable indeed.

I have a Question. When you were in Boston you did a show from the New England house and there was an Embassy. Can you tell me more about that we lived in Winthrop. Now live in Phoenix. My grandson went to ASU. Also how do you eat all that food and stay thin
reply

Shakain is kat hal in hindi or jackfruit in English. So many Indian vegetable names. Chula ia again indian word which means clay made oven. Dal puri is like paratha stuffed with lentils. Seems like one must definitely visit the Aunty s kitchen if in trinidad

After watching the first video I said the only things u didn't try was saheena, prayers food, pepper roti and bake n shark. Glad u got most of them! Btw I really enjoy how u say pepper like pep-pah rather than pep-pur lol. Great video man!

Watching this makes me want to get my passport and go home to this again, I think this is just the begging because you have yet to go to Tobago, cant wait to see your experience on the sister island in your upcoming videos: )

Nice video. Delighted to watch the fusion of Indian and Caribbean cuisine. Some foods here seem similar to Bengali cuisines in India but in a modified form. I will definitely try to cook some of these at home. Love from India
reply

Most of the foods are similar to Bangladeshi cuisine. This clay stove is used in Both Bangladesh and west Bengal widely in the villages, even in the cities. Due to LPG gas now less in the household of middle-class people.

Chataigne (from the French) is what are our chestnuts.
Glad you are still here. Recommend our other cultures to explore that were left out of the first vid. Chinese and Lebanese in particular. Happy trails!

My ex-wife (we have one son together -still friends) was from Trinidad Tobago she was a very good cook! I miss the Dhalpuri roti! I used to eat without anything in it! But when you add everything else. PLAIN HEAVEN!
