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.

  1. Aloo pies or fry pie came a long way. There's now chicken pie and beef pie, but Aloo still holds true to its origins.
