Trini condiments

I don't know what it is with Trinidadian and sauce. We putting sauce on every and anything, we telling the doubles man we want all the sauces, we buy a pizza we loading it ketchup, mustard and pepper, bake and shark with all the sauces. I love the tamarind and chado beni sauces. Even when we are at Subway, some people will say they buy subway for the bread, but I heard most people like subway because of their sauce. We are a 'sauce' people I guess is because of our rich taste for flavor. Some of these sauces we enjoy  are of different origins. Garlic sauce has an Syrian origin, because of their love for garlic. However, most of our sauces are of East Indian influence.
Firstly, we have pepper sauce, pepper is a popular seasoning among the East Indian community. 'Hot peppers' also known as habaneros are the main ingredient are minced or chopped and is combined with other local spices,some people even mix it with vegetables. Also there is 'mother in law' another popular are hot peppers mixed with carrots, Carlyle and other spices. There also chutneys that come in different flavors such as; tamarind and mango. Kuchela and anchor are made from some of our local fruits like tamarind, pommecthere and mango.

East Indian breakfast dishes

The East Indian culture plays an influential role in Trinidad and Tobago food. In a previous post I talked about African influenced breakfast dishes. Now in this post I would talk about breakfast dishes that we enjoy thanks from the East Indian community. I mentioned doubles s a liming food but its also a popular breakfast food. Another, popular dish is sada roti which is s roasted flat bread served with choke. Choka is the name given to anything sauteed and seasoned with black pepper, it can be anything tomato, pumpkin, potato, even bodi or patchoi. Aloo pies is another favorite and can be found in any pie or roti shop or even by the doubles man. Aloe pie is s fried dough with seasoned potato, served with many sauces like chutney or pepper sauce.

Saheena is a paste mixed with split peas and dasheen bush and tastes really good with chutney. Katchori is a seasoned split peas fried into a ball and best eaten with chutney and pepper. Baiganee is a paste like mixture of split pas and egg plant with seasoning it also goes good with chutney.
