Welcome! I have no idea idea what foods are popular in Trinidad, so I'll
be keeping my eyes open for you posts

do you like eggplant? Here is something called bygan chokka

1 eggplant roasted on an open fire
scarpe the skin off after it is blacken from the heat.
Place the insides in shallow bowl.
Chop onions tomatoes fine and add to the bowl. Sprinkle salt and black
pepper. Locals like to use hot pepper for that spicy flavor. separately

heat skillet with teaspoon of oil and drop a clove of garlic and cook
until black. remove garlic and pour oil over eggplant mix. stir
slightly.


this is great with Sad roti but pita bread goes just as well.


it's a local east indian dish mainly consumed for breakfast

Wow, thank you! It sounds tasty and I've never seen that approach to
blackening garlic before.

happy I could help just remember to give me hints on ur cooking
secrets.
If I can help again don't hesitate to ask

Her recipe sounds like Indian bengan bharta with fewer spices.
